BREAKING: US Supreme Court rules New York prosecutor can get President Trump's tax returns.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday gave President Donald Trump a chance to beat back House Democrats’ efforts to obtain his financial records but ruled he is not immune from Manhattan district attorney’s attempt to get his taxes.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office wanted to obtain Trump’s tax returns as part of its probe into hush-money payments to two women although the president can challenge that in court and the justices said he can fight House Democrats’ attempt to obtain financial records from the Trump Organization’s accounting firm and two banks. Both matters will go back to lower courts.Pete Williams is an NBC News correspondent who covers the Justice Department and the Supreme Court, based in Washington.

hyzy Fake news! Passed back down to lower court!

Who care. Please let this man do his job. Fucking babies

Im so sick of this argument. Why don't they just have to release them as part of the deal for being president?

This gives renewed meaning to Trump's exclamation, 'I'm f*****!' 😷💙🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏿

The loser looses! I love it!

WillieGeist Speaking of $$$. Willie, you said today u can’t afford to shop on 5th ave? C’mon man !

NYC ALL THE WAY!!!!

Fair enough. Why should his returns be above scrutiny?

Except that they fired the lead prosecutor about a couple of weeks ago and put their own guy in there... corrupt president !!

One more 45 day stall is all that realDonaldTrump needs before election

K cosas ... sera creible sto k dise.. en jocotepec jal,, sta echando las aguas negras al lago d chapala.........

What political BS.

AgelessObserver 1 down, 1 more 2 go!!!

I thought the ruling was sent back to the lower court - layman terms: nothing will ever happen, another criminal lives with impunity plus a dishonor to the office of POTUS.

The fact that Covid-19 and President Trump's taxes has more of your attention than the murderous. global elite child killers and pedophile ring blows my mind.

It’s gonna be 0 TaxReturns

Im smiling, slightly curved smirking slyly. She might be running a victory lap, But honestly, hocus Pelosis is treading along hells half an Acre of crazy. Democrats will never Trump Donald Trump with Trumped-up allegations. Let the Trumpet Blow for Trumps less Triumphant Foes.

I’m gonna laugh my tail off if this was just a long troll and there isn’t anything bad on them.

SCOTUS kicked the can down the road. Really no need to send back to lower court. They just wanted to avoid affecting November election.

Maybe I don't have to burn my law license after all.

MeetThePress It’s now time for the reckoning to begin Trump. They/we will see your secrets and lies. Your inability to conduct business honestly and with moral character. RESIGNATION REQUESTED NOW

Didn’t he fire the New York prosecutors who wanted his tax returns

realDonaldTrump What the two 7-2 decisions today by the Supreme Court stressed and affirmed: No president is above the law -- Donald Trump is not above the law ... Here endeth the lesson ...

It's nobody's business to check on Trump's finances to see if he paid bitches for sexual favors. Like you all don't have nothing to hide.?

Sure they’ll get them in about a year when he’s reelected. FU NBC

What is this president hiding! No other president has worked this hard to hide their taxes!

Insane rulings. The NY prosecutor wanted financial records as far back as 2011 for alleged 'hush payments'. Hello? NDAs are mutually agreeable documents that two parties voluntarily agree to. There is zero indication that Trump illegally used funds in these matters.

sunschamps2023 MontyMMA

Biden and all members of Congress needs to release theirs

Rather convoluted ruling - allowing NY prosecutor but not House Democrats.

Why is he fighting so hard to hide them? 🤔🤔🤔

BREAKING UPDATE: US Supreme Court gives President Trump a chance to beat back House Democrats’ efforts to obtain his financial records, but ruled he is not immune from Manhattan district attorney’s attempt to get his taxes.

This president USES the BULLY PULPIT as often as he likes as he likes. When the 🇺🇸 public disagree's with his view PIONT then it's PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT! WAKE-UP 🇺🇸!It's political because of its and ELECTION YEAR! TRUMP'S dropped the BALL on the VIRUS THING!HE'S A LIAR!SIMPLE!

WillieGeist WE DONT CARE ABOUT HIS TAX RETURN

When I was a young girl we had a peculiar laugh when something was so good but you wanted to be both mischievous and lady-like. We would say 'tee hee'-fast and furious fashion with twinkling eyes. 'Tee-hee' This is perfect news for my tee hee

His last card, Bill Barr to the rescue!!!

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha etc

Oh Boy !

Wow!

I’d worry less about the tax returns of a billionaire who chose to become a public servant and more about the taxes of the public servants who became millionaires while ‘serving’.

LockHimUp

Why does everyone assume his tax returns will be legitimate? He’s had a long time to pretty them up. I mean, he “Aunt Becky’d” his SAT. Don’t imagine the IRS will release their copies...

After Nov. when Trump is ejected from the Whitehouse he will spend the rest of his life fighting to stay out of prison. Millions and millions of dollars on both sides for court. What a jackal

Misleading headline. The New York prosecutor is not getting Trump's tax returns anytime soon, if ever.

getyourtaxesreadybitch

When can we see all Cuomo’s taxes? His wife stole Billions from the state of NY and no one knows where the money is.

NBC29 I would rather see the tax returns of politicians who became millionaires in office than the tax returns of a billionaire who became president.

It's about damn time! He's hiding from something on those tax returns! Otherwise, why would he be fighting so hard? If there's nothing to hide, why so nervous?

He’s always bullying Democrat higher-ups about having a “lack” of honesty and transparency, as if he’s any better lmao

You are crooks at that station,SusanRice husband works there& You Dam Well know it. Put all FakeNews Media,All Judges Tax papers & Pelosi, Democrat’s Tax Papers Out also! QBlueSkyQ realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump AllenWest Jim_Jordan RichardGrenell

Well there you go opening the door for Congress to do the same. He is f*****.

No they didn’t. They said it needs to go back down to the lower court. It will be delayed until after the election. Victory for Trump.

AdrianNormanDC I THINK WE SHOULD GET YOURS ALSO NBC!!!!

Lol! Trump wins again! Goes back to the courts which will take over a year. Boom

Doesn’t mean he they will. It’s being sent back to a lower court.

And how much does he owe Russia? Can not wait to see

MeetThePress The extent to which American politicians/media spend time, money and resources to undermine their opponents is appalling. On both sides.
