WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday firmly rejected President Donald Trump’s argument for sweeping presidential immunity and ruled that a New York prosecutor can obtain his financial records but prevented - at least for now - Democratic-led House of Representatives committees from getting similar documents.
“This is a tremendous victory for our nation’s system of justice and its founding principle that no one - not even a president - is above the law,” said Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, a Democrat, in relation to the ruling in his case. “We will now proceed to raise additional constitutional and legal issues in the lower courts,” said Jay Sekulow, Trump’s personal lawyer.
“We affirm that principle today and hold that the president is neither absolutely immune from state criminal subpoenas seeking his private papers nor entitled to a heightened standard of need,” Roberts added. Roberts’ analysis of the congressional subpoenas hinged on the competing political interests between different branches of government.
The corrupt calling the corrupt. US run by the corrupt.
God someone shut this woman up! She is no good for the government.
That is not what the Supreme Court ruled.
'You don't say, Madame Speaker!'

That's funny... Just read the Supreme Court will NOT force release of Trump's tax returns. Statement by Trump's attorney.
Democrats grasping at straws again. She has no idea what his tax returns will have on them, yet she makes clear what she 'hopes' they will contain. Just let the prosecutor do his job.
I could honestly scream at this woman for hours. The news says that the democrats need to be more specific in why they want the taxes. That is why it went to the lower court. If she's using Russia again, and it goes to the supreme court again, they'll lose. That issue is closed
