Supreme Court says President Trump cannot keep tax, financial records from prosecutors

The court's two other conservatives, Associate Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, dissented.

The landmark rulings carry political, legal and constitutional implications for the president, Congress and law enforcement officials who argued the records could reveal evidence of criminal wrongdoing. For the time being, they mean the public won't see Trump's financial documents: Grand jury investigations are secret, and three House committees won't get the records in the midst of the presidential campaign.

Kavanaugh and Gorsuch did not join the majority opinion's reasoning. Kavanaugh wrote separately for the duo, stressing that Trump's lawyers can raise new arguments at the district court level. It's there, Roberts said, that"the president may raise further arguments as appropriate.""In our system of government, as this court has often stated, no one is above the law," he said."That principle applies, of course, to a president.

In dissent, Thomas said the New York case should be returned to lower courts to determine whether Trump's duties as president should preclude compliance with the grand jury subpoena. Alito was more adamant that it should be struck down. "The subpoena at issue here is unprecedented," Alito said."Never before has a local prosecutor subpoenaed the records of a sitting president. The court’s decision threatens to impair the functioning of the presidency and provides no real protection against the use of the subpoena power by the nation’s 2,300+ local prosecutors."

Because they are living in a separate reality.

The White House doesn't believe the Supreme Court . Wacoman is in dire need of help people.

How ignorant are these people?

Did you ever think that Trump didn't actually do anything wrong? Yall will criticize him for drinking a cup of coffee. lol

Hope the Democrats have a press secretary with some brains!!!

The records are still under audit, right? Long audit. The longest audit. The best audit. Incredible.

What do they do...breathe helium?

Stfu

No they say stuff to try and make the base believe what happened didn’t

But PT did...

Absolutely the worst Harvard graduate.

Believe what I tell you, not what you see

She just made me Google 'vance' majority to see if it was a thing..... It's not

Up is down. Black is white. Right is wrong. 😩😡🤬

Spin city

Again, delusion rules

The delusional thinking overwhelms this administration. The fact that the SCOTUS sent it back to the lower courts shows that Trump can be prosecuted. 7 out of 9 says that Trumps not above the law. The WH to take a victory lap for not having to be honest with the people is sick.

What is Baghdad Barbie saying now?

To be expected Art of deflection. Its not my returns its my father's hahahahahha CNN ProjectLincoln MeidasTouch RepsForBiden New Ad material ahhahahhahahha

Trump : It's so safe and comfortable in the bunker.

Look at JULIET BOYD AND DEIDRE BAUMANN WHO DID NOT FULL FILL THEIR FIDUCIARY DUTIES TO ME, ELIZABETH M. SEBESTA, MARIE J. SEBESTA, AND OUR FOUR LEGGERS!

The point is that he should have a strong base by showing them; however, there exists the possibility that wouldn’t matter any way like how the IL OEIG, PAST AND PRESENT IL GOVERNORS AND AG and more have just colluded for tyrannical terrorism and organized crimes! WHERE’S FBI ICE

How now he will be exposed. Wonder if he will get away with it.

She keeps looking at her notebook for the right Propaganda answer... gets more comical everyday. PressSec you really look foolish. I hope your kids aren’t too ashamed of you when they get old enough to realize how you enabled this trash.

Dumb f&$king blonde

Trump’s been reduced to trying to keep that dwindling base of his from falling apart, we should stop paying attention. There’s nothing being said that’s worthy of PressSec $175,000 salary.

Honestly a punk represents the white House....

We won’t see his taxes before the election. Vote accordingly.

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Master spinners.

Is she saying “Vance Majority”?

This girl has no dignity

They won’t be released before election you libs

BREAKING: The White House is full of GD idiots.

She’s just feeling extra happy because her parents scored a million in PPP loan that they “allegedly” shouldn’t qualify for in her words.

Gaslighting again

She is right.

She doth bat her eyelashes too much. resist traitortrump

Because they didn’t.

Ok, KayKayKay.

He needs to release his tax records..

When you live in Barbies Trumplandia ...

Totally Cool, Mature President Says Supreme Court Decision Is 'Not Fair'For a presumably adult man who spent much of the aughts harassing then-President Barack Obama to release a copy of his birth certificate, current President Donald Trump is not one to abide by any semblance of transparency himself. Case in point: In a perfectly reasonable ruling, the Supreme Court released decisions on two cases that will require Trump to release his tax documents if compelled by a court. (While Trump has resisted publicly disclosing his taxes, Democratic opponent Joe Biden, like most political candidates, has posted his to his campaign website.)

Rep. Plaskett: Supreme Court ruled that 'there is no absolute immunity for any president'Democratic Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett joins Andrea Mitchell to react to the Supreme Court's ruling that Congress needs to go back through the lower courts to try get access to Trump's tax returns. 'Justice comes, but it didn't always come swiftly. And I believe we saw this in the court's ruling,' says Rep. Plaskett, though she adds that it 'will go down in history' that the court determined 'there is no absolute immunity for any president.' Great, let's prosecute Obama then for all his crimes. Today realDonaldTrump learned that he wasn't crowned King. Justice? Imagine not being in the privileged few.
