Supreme Court set to decide who can see Trump’s tax returns, financial records

The justices have left only one other case to their final opinion day: a dispute over whether a large swath of eastern Oklahoma is actually an Indian reservation.

Still, while the New York prosecutor’s investigation could be considered more urgent legally, since it involves a criminal investigation, the House inquiries may pack more of a political punch. That’s because while records turned over under a grand jury subpoena are required to be kept secret at least until charges are filed, lawmakers are under no such obligation and could release the Trump financial files in the lead-up to the election.

When arguments were eventually held on the disputes almost two months ago, conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito sounded highly sympathetic to the president’s arguments and hostile to the House’s. At its core, the president’s legal fight with Congress is over how close a link the courts will require between House committees’ investigative efforts aimed at allegations of presidential misconduct and lawmakers’ specific plans to pass legislation.

Fascinating that in the US a completely different outcome is expected based on partiality between liberal or conservative judges. Lady Justice should be above it all. Corruption has been normalised. It’s worrying

DavidBrodyCBN 'Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life; He swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.' Proverbs 29:24 Trump is a liar, thief, racist, corrupt, ignorant con man, side with him at your peril.

I want to see them.

The SCOTUS should not support getting financial information for politics. It is not a requirement for the position nor it should be going back to time before elected.

Final nail in the coffin of checks and balances

My bet is on: they dismiss on some procedural ground or they ask for rebriefing or additional argument to take place next term, which starts in October. If Trump loses, they dismiss as a moot issue. In other words, they punt by 5-4 vote.

Not quite.

They had better do it.

My fingers are crossed.

I mean, we can hope Scotus will do the right thing but we know bunkerbitch has half of them in his lil blackmail book. So likely nah...

I am not hopeful about the outcome....great disappointment I fear...

I kind of hope they side with Trump. It will fuel even more rage on the left and add support to the idea of stacking the court.

It needs to

My uncle lived in H&R Block

this decision- is what trumps supreme court choices were all about.

anna palmer already typing up the playbook blurb about SCOTUS siding with trump.. 5-4.. kangaroo court

I hope they do the right thing

'A Republic, we shall see ...'

Please, please, please, please require him to release the records... And ALL candidates for POTUS in the future. 🙏

It will not benefit the country one bit.

Please show the virgin. Mary

Remember the gay rights stuff etc. they gave us the other week? Trump tweeting that he doesn't think SCOTUS likes him very much? That was the set-up for this decision, which will be in his favour. Plausible deniability of partisanship. Hope I'm wrong. Pretty sure I'm not.

Congress is just going to hide them and deny anyone from seeing them

I ain't holding my breath

5-4 we don’t see them...

No faith in our SCOTUS right now. We do know one seat was bought and paid for and that is the tie breaker seat and Justice Roberts has taken falls every time he rules in favor of the law... I hope he has personal protection, they will try to murder him like Epstein and Maxwell.

5/4 for keeping them secret

I hope they do the right thing here, coz if it anyone of us gets sued, the first thing they ask for is your bank accounts and income tax, if you don’t pay or show, they will freeze your bank account and you won’t be able to do anything, period!! I have been in that situation!🤔🤦‍♀️

Don’t hold your breath

It's very simple. Congress just needs to get off it's ass and pass a law requiring Presidents to do so.

This will indeed be interesting. My guess is that they dodge the issue and kick the can past November. But we'll see tomorrow. Can't wait to open my present then.
