House Democrats have said they believe Trump's tax returns might provide insights into a question special counsel Robert Mueller never answered: Did Trump borrow money from Russian entities or otherwise do business with them before he became president? He has denied any such relationship. Democrats say that if any existed, that would give Russian President Vladimir Putin leverage over Trump.
Besides, they say, it's been clear since Trump was elected that Congress was determined to dig into his family's financial history."Exposing private details about individuals is not a power Congress holds," the lawyers write."Yet that has been the goal here from the start." While Trump says Congress has never before subpoenaed the private records of a sitting president, lawyers for the House say Congress has been seeking information about the public and private conduct of presidents for nearly 200 years.
It's even worse, they say, to imagine that every local prosecutor in the country could target the president for investigation."The risk that politics will lead state and local prosecutors to relentlessly harass the president is simply too great to tolerate," Trump's lawyers argue. The Supreme Court has never ruled on the issues raised in either case before it. But in two unanimous decisions, the court said President Richard Nixon had to respond to a subpoena for White House tapes in a criminal case and President Bill Clinton was not immune from a civil lawsuit while in office, despite the potential distraction the litigation might cause.
Not only has he NOT drained the swamp, he's added to the existing swamp, and created swamps. And let's just let all of his cronies out of prison. What abt the others in fear of COVID exposure. Let's let me out too!!
MoonriseBooks It would benefit every single citizen of this country of ours if they rule access CAN'T be blocked. Besides, I'm eagerly waiting to analyze them.😈😉
Nooooooooooooo
Who cares? It seems likeNBC and CNN are really the only people who give a damn about this story, everyone else have more on the plate like feeding their family and keeping a roof over their head. To bad you don’t have any real reporters left at NBC! 🤬
Hope not!!!🙏
dennisaoconnor Why such a fight? Will it show what a crock of a con he is?
Sus
Why
At this I don’t care what his tax returns are, my only concern is preventing any democrats or socialist democrats out of public office from making America a socialist country!!
TRUMP DOES NOT PAY HIS TAXES
NEXT YEAR the world will know your deepest secrets and fears!!
I'm now starting to believe that he was never audited. I would love to know how much Don the cons worth I don't think it's billions or Millions.
45 will make sure to block his tax returns at all cost, however, back in the day he (45) was ADAMANT that President Obama had to share his birth records (which, in the end he did anyway.) Can you say 'double standard'?
Another Trump that he would release them 4 years ago.
Another 5/4 and Scotus is DEAD😡
Please Sweet Lord, let Justice prevail. Don’t allow Trump’s taxes to be blocked. We the people have undergone so much corruption under the Trump Administration influences. I pray to you, to please have mercy on your good soul’s. And protect us from the wicked, Amen💫
He's not happy to disclose that the costs for his underwear and golf clubs were business tax credits.
Man smh 🤦♂️ what is he hiding .........get it over with lil bitch the president of the divided states of America at his best lmao
What ever happened to his taxes being under audit, and Trump being more than willing to release them once the audit is over? Was that all just total BS? And WHAT IS HE TRYING TO HIDE? Why does the USA STILL have this lying grifter in the Oval Office? TrumpLies hurt all of US.
Pure corruption
Scotus when you become president your are scrutinized more to insure you can handle the position of the leader of the free world honorably. Previous have made these records available with nothing to hide. This 3 year battle must come to close by releasing. We have laws to follow
OBAMA A HIS IMMORAL FOLLOWERS COST MY HOUSE TERRORIZED KILLED MY FAMILY MURDERED ME ENVIOUS I A STAR MOVIES ACTRESS.Ruined a country an a world as destroyed everywhere I am calif. Italy a here a went at my PrinceAsFilthyIndiaA whoForThey hereDidHugeInjustices to i&he everywhere
A criminal always has something to hide.
Come on, we all know you will never see them, you tried to impeach him and failed, you're now using a different tact, Supreme court judges will have been paid handsomely already to deny the disclosure. God Bless America!!
realDonaldTrump always hiding something. Covidiot
No need to show them - it’s another coup try from the left
What is he afraid of? We already know that he is a charlatan and grifter. His base will not care no matter what the records say. The man is just pathetic.
Why if everything is on the up and up does he continue to block this? That alone speaks volumes!
Of course I would not want my taxes given out freely to the public. But yet taxes are free and clear to public review. When you sign that form you sign it with the understanding that is true and accurate. Part of government records. All citizens are included. Even the president:/
Trump: 'If I decide to run for office, I'll produce my tax returns, absolutely .... And I would love to do that.' --- The length into which this president has gone to hide the thing he would love to do, is absolutely priceless!
Keep hiding shit
What is he hiding ?!!
Trump is not above the law. He must show these documents to justice.
irs has them and that's enough
He’ll win and CRYFEST will be extended until 2025.
opening up an investigation on the president is not what this country needs. things can't go wrong.
That is his right, it is called privacy. Don't take us through the journey of phoney Russian collusion again please.
A new Amazon DC for don's taxes. Another one from Como.
And then we willl all see just how corrupt Chief Justice Roberts really is. Scotus
Because that’s what people with nothing to hide do, right? What’s he hiding? By the way, didn’t he say he’d show them when his “audit” was over? In 2015? He’s so dishonest it’s mind numbing.
U ask why is this important? Because every American needs to know their President isn’t beholden to a Foreign Gov’t or being coerced, It should be standard procedure. A committee could look at it and say it’s ok, it goes no further. It stays private but Trump says No, why?
The length he has gone through to hide anything in his life that may make him look bad is amazing.
If I were a gambling man my bet would be that 5 of the Justices will crawl so far up Orangeface's ass they won't be able to see daylight.
What is he hiding?
Of course he is hiding something. Nobody who works as hard as he does to avoid something is legit.
SCOTUS is bought and paid for and part of the GOP's plan to destroy America.
This is as good as viewing any football game
Soon as my audit is done
