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.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, a Democrat, and the House committees all issued subpoenas to third parties for the records, not to the Republican president himself. Trump sued to block enforcement of the subpoenas. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court stoutly reaffirmed the principle that not even the president is above the law - a message delivered 3-1/2 years into a presidency in which Trump has repeatedly skirted the norms of American political conduct.
“Congress’s constitutional responsibility to uncover the truth continues, specifically related to the President’s Russia connection that he is hiding,” Pelosi said, in reference to the contention that Trump’s financial records could show such an entanglement.Trump’s argument that he was immune from any criminal process “runs up against the 200 years of precedent establishing that Presidents, and their official communications, are subject to judicial process,” Roberts wrote.
Roberts’ analysis of the congressional subpoenas hinged on the competing political interests between different branches of government.
get This People we don’t care about his bank account leave the President alone let him make America great and happy again get the hell out if you don’t like how he r
Except that it clearly wasn’t
Al Capone went down on tax. Same fate awaits everyone who hides it.
The end of Trump is near.
Witch hunt, fake news, hoax...doesn’t he have any new material?
Didn’t he already agree to provide his taxes? Always the victim of these hoaxes/witch hunts that turn out to be 100% VALID -where HIS people go to jail, the President STEALS money and DEFRAUDS even charities, 130,000+ DIE, 40 million+ LOSE jobs, but yeah it’s a total witch hunt.
Trump says it like it's a bad thing..... Hear the words of the Witches rise Remove the Coward we all despise
It is. There's no coherent reason why New York prosecutor needs his tax returns.
No, he didn’t. FakeNews (Apparently, the media is now willing to lie about literally anything and everything.)
You can run, but you can’t hide forever.
He won the mueller investigation? He got impeached 🤦♂️
It is though..
Even conservatives Justices ruled against him, but for some reason it's a 'witch hunt'... He just repeats the same stuff over and over again. Ironically, Trump was in typical fashion trying to make it seem like he won again, but anyone with common sense knows he lost, bigly.
Donald, are you worried? You should be and Rudy G ass is the sling too
The headline should just be : Trump under criminal investigation in New York. Why repeat his lies?
The orange witch getting uncomfortable?
Always the victim.. everyday of his life. Boo Hoo Hoo.
So not news.
...which it is
Eventhough all.other candidates regularly release their tax records? VoteBlue2020
Job for life. SCOTUS doesn't care about you.
Which Supreme court? Mexican?
What's he hiding?
His tax returns will go to Cy Vance who took a donation from trump to drop legitimate charges against Ivanca and Don Jr for fraud in some real estate scam. So, don’t think we’ll be seeing anything about his taxes unless someone does leak...which is wishful thinking.
Press, please ask him: Why would any innocent person go to such extraordinary links to hide their taxes and financial records if they are innocent and the records would exonerate them?
New York is a state located in the Northeastern United States. New York was one of the original thirteen colonies that formed the United States. With more than 19 million residents in 2019,
Being president is a privilege, not a right. The documents should be available to the public.
Manhattan prosecutors should get the documents shortly... Wouldn't it be such a shame if Trump's tax returns leaked before the election?
That's it for trump now ... we had four eventful years of Trump presidency
