Trump's Pokoste Nightmare Gets Worse, Supreme Court Rule That He Must Turn Over Tax Returns For Hush Money

The Supreme Court dealt a stunning blow to Donald Trump Thursday by ruling that his private accounting firm must hand over tax return information that and prosecutors had demanded.

The court ruled 7-2 that Trump is not immune from subpoenas, in an opinion that tested both the power of local prosecutors and Congress to obtain information. The opinion was written by Chief Justice John Roberts; the two who dissented were Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

The court handed Trump the defeat in a politically-consequential case on the last day of its term, wrapping up a session where Trump scored wins and some notable losses.

The ruling has immediate implications for Trump, who must face the voters in just four months – and now must prepare to contend with explosive reports about his sprawling business empire, multiple bankruptcies, and whatever else may emerge from the materials.

The case are Trump v. Deutsch Bank, AG and Trump v. Vance, named for New York District Attorney Cy Vance, who also hit the institutions with subpoenas for Trump tax information. He is probing whether Stormy Daniels was paid hush money.

It’s actually a win for him.
They gave him a soft landing and sent it back to
to the lower courts. All they said is that he is not immune from a subpoena.
So technically he doesn’t have to release the documents until after the elections. If he looses again in those courts.
The bigger tax ruling is coming up. The one from the House of Representatives that explicitly asked for his tax records. That too may be sent to the lower courts. Because there are several precedents on Presidential financial documents. Supreme Court will not have to stamp that.
Trump already knew he was going to loose. All he is doing is buying time until after the election.
