Trump's lawyers made a sweeping argument about the level of immunity a president enjoys while in office.

District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. -- and declined in a separate case to issue a definitive ruling on whether congressional committees can have access to Trump's financial records, throwing both issues back to lower courts.

Roberts also authored the opinion in the House cases, which were consolidated. In one, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed accounting firm Mazars USA for access to a slew of Trump’s financial documents from 2011 to 2018, including personal records and records of various affiliated businesses and entities. These included the president's long-sought-after tax returns.

"When Congress seeks information 'needed for intelligent legislative action,' it 'unquestionably' remains 'the duty of all citizens to cooperate,'" he wrote. But, he said, subpoenas from Congress to the president "implicate special concerns regarding the separation of powers. The courts below did not take adequate account of those concerns."

Trump used personal lawyers rather than White House lawyers for both cases. Those lawyers made a sweeping argument in the criminal case about the level of immunity a president enjoys while in office.

Supreme Court says Trump can weaken Obamacare contraceptive mandateThe Supreme Court on Wednesday cleared the way for the Trump administration to expand exemptions for employers who have religious or moral objections to complying with the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive mandate. Weakening birth control coverage will only lead to an increase in pregnancies and thus abortions. The GOP is doing all that they can to lose the female vote... Let kids pay for their own birth control or abstain. Why should taxpayers fund their screwing around. Conservatives: Every life is sacred, unless it steps on your property, then you can shoot them dead. Liberals: WTF?
