SCOTUS SPEAKS: House Dems Will Get to See Trump’s Tax Returns

The Supreme Court has ruled that the House Ways and Means Committee can obtain Trump’s tax returns; Trump previously filed asking the Supreme Court to block the release of his tax records.

From Fox News:

[On] Tuesday, Roberts formally denied the request.

“The application for stay of the mandate presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied,” the order states. “The order heretofore entered by The Chief Justice is vacated.”

The House Ways and Means Committee first requested six years of Trump’s tax returns in 2019.

Trump’s tax records are currently in the hands of the Treasury Department, which had held off releasing them pending final court action.

The Trump administration had refused to turn over six years of tax records, but the Biden Justice Department in 2021 had reversed that position, saying Congress should be able to review the records, a decision Trump and his legal team have appealed – leading to the current legal fight. Lower courts had sided with the House committee.
