President Trump asked the Supreme Court to put on hold House subpoenas requesting his financial documents from two banks in the latest case concerning Trump's personal records to reach the high court

Trump's personal lawyers called the subpoenas"extraordinarily broad" and said they raise"profound separation-of-powers concerns."In the emergency petition, the lawyers argue that the subpoenas"target financial institutions that the President, his businesses, and his family used long before his election to office.

Trump's lawyers are seeking to block the subpoenas from going forward, to give the President time to formally ask the justices to take up his appeal.A federal appeals court allowed the subpoenas for most of the documents to go forward earlier in the week, but agreed to put the ruling on a seven-day hold so that Trump could ask the Supreme Court to step in.

I am confident the Supreme Court will give Trump his stay. They will just add them to the rest. Thy know he has no case, but thy will pretend he does, to hlp him run out the clock, and hlp him wth reelctn in 2020. That court is going the way of our Democracy. Down the drain.

Show me the money!

No worry. We can count on the completely non partisan SC to make the proper decision.

So? Whats the store or 'big new' here?

Because that’s what innocent people do🙄

Isn't that right in the rules somewhere for being president? If it is than why was he allowed to enter the job without it? Also if that's a rule and he's not willing to do it than he should be removed from the job until he's cleared. Simple

He is a disgrace

What happened to he would show tax returns if elected?

Why? Unless you have something to hide!

Yep, that is why McTurtle and the cons put their guy in the SC.

What is he afraid of?

Just because YOU put them on the court doesn’t mean they have to listen to you between games of beer pong ( you know of whom I speak)

WHY? Cause the mother focker don't pay taxes, gets money back

What are you hiding Donald? realDonaldTrump RepublicanParty SCOTUS

What THE hell is he scared of? Will we find something kinky in his taxes

Wow- the most transparent president ever... we can all see right through him

Let’s see if the trump appointees follow the constitution or protect trump. With this case we will certainly see if any agreements were made for those appointments.

God, and God, alone will remove this evil ill will wicked man from Office watch God evildores.

If they did that it would be a violation of the constitution and then what, I don't think John Roberts loves the Trump Regime and republicans that much.

He will blame the fake news, the democrats, and anyone else he can so he can hide his sleazy corruption. This animal makes me sick.

Actually sad that nothing sticks against this man. Maybe lets just admit he covered his tracks well and nothing against him will work?

Members of the Supreme Court. Do you really want your legacies to include that you helped shield Donald Trump from being held to account for his illegal activities? Do you want to be the punchline for jokes in the future?

Really, really feels like he's hiding something at this point.

Are you tired of winning🤣😍😎 The Trump Economy is CRUSHING it! ✅266K jobs created ✅54K new manufacturing jobs ✅50-year low unemployment: 3.5% ✅Wages up 3.1% over the last year

What are you so scared of realDonaldTrump ? CorruptTrump DonTheCon ImpeachAndRemove

Is this not an abuse of power? Obstruction of Justice?

Baby pop

Tax evasion ! Trump declared a small value on his properties and a larger value when he applied to Russia for loans ! That's illegal and you will go to jail , Trump has gotten rid of Epstein, 2 bankers who oversaw his loans ,who's next .....RUDY I believe! ImpeachAndRemoveTrump

Michael Cohen, trump’s personal attorney, testified that trump lied on financial records about value of his properties to get loans from banks thereby committing fraud. Cohen’s in jail and now trump continues to ignore the courts and goes to the Supremes? The courts have ruled.

🤣🤣. Good luck with that!! 🤣🤣🙄🙄

Who truly cares about his finances he is running this Country better then an previous President and donating his salary on top of that. If we are going to require this of the President then from this day forth let's obtain financial records of all political members.

The so called mantra of draining the swamp is afraid of his own shadow.

Why are Republicans asking what is realDonaldTrump is trying to hide or is it they really don't care

Scotus if you do this, you are setting a precedent that allows presidents to be placed above the law!! Why is trump so afraid to disclose this information - he is hiding something!

Dems trying to get “dirt” on a political rival for political gain... hmmmm

WHAT IS HE SO AFRAID OF THAT HE WOULD GO TO SUCH LENGTHS JUST TO KEEP BASIC DOCUMENTATION FROM US? EVERYONE ELSE HAS ALREADY GIVEN THEIR TAX REPORTS!!!!

Why won’t he be transparent?

Let's see Joe and Hunters financial documents

Of course he did.

On what grounds? Just because?

Oops ..looks like a small white collar crime happening ..😂🤣😂🤣

Obstruction , obstruction , obstruction LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But he has NOTHING TO HIDE, right?

Doesn’t hurt to ask..

So doesn't this request to SCOTUS make him the first POTUS in history to make a request to SCOTUS that is personal in nature and not related in anyway to protecting the citizens of this nation or the safety of the nation?

Most transparent President ever!!

Trump asks Supreme Court to hear arguments in fight with Congress over his financial recordsTrump asks Supreme Court to hear arguments over whether his accounting firm will be required to turn over his financial records to Congress. Got to wonder why our Criminal President is so scared to release his tax’s🤔 Hope they say no. He fights awful hard & spends a fortune to prevent something he promised he was going to do during his campaign (‘once the “audit” is over’). Confirms that audit excuse was always a lie & the claim he’d ever provide transparency was also a lie. Corruption at its highest form.

How do they make millions on a government salary.

Trump asks Supreme Court to void financial records subpoenaUPDATE: President Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to void a subpoena from the House that seeks the president's financial records from his accounting firm. The obstruction of justice by this man and by those in the GOP who protect his criminal activities has to be a record in US history. I wonder just how does it compare to the Reagan presidency? Maybe it's too early, but it surely must come to an end. We can't afford much more. A person would not go to such great lengths to hide information unless he’s guilty And if the SCOTUS decides to get involved in this, which is completely inappropriate, then when Dems are in control, they must consider impeachment of the SCOTUS judges who are abusing their power realDonaldTrump as crook.

Nancy Pelosi says House will move forward with articles of impeachment against TrumpPelosi said 'the president leaves us with no choice but to act,' decrying his actions as 'in defiance of our founders.' This will spell the end of Biden's candidacy given that his son will be in front of the Senate trying to explain how he was a model citizen and his dad didn't know what he (Hunter) was doing. No Biden in the race will actually benefit the Democrats. Mrs Pelosi, do you know anything about the Constitution? If you did you would know that Congress, in it's current incarnation, is in defiance of our founders. Your ignorance and hypocrisy both amaze and frighten me.

House has 'no choice' but to move to impeach Trump, Pelosi says“The facts are uncontested. The president abused his power for his own personal political benefit.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she is asking House committees to move to impeach President Trump. RadicalLeft poised to overthrow duly elected President, THEN Republic, THEN enslave masses to socialism. DestroyedFromWithin as Khrushchev predicted 60 yrs ago. She defended herself as being a Catholic. The Catholic Church is very against murder and abortion. She is Catholic only in her mind. She has abetted the murder of hundreds of thousands of babies. Invoking the Catholic Church? They’re more corrupt and shady than trump 😂
