Attorneys for Donald Trump faced questions from the Supreme Court over whether allowing Trump to keep his tax records shielded from House Democrats would unconstitutionally limit the power of Congress to conduct investigations.
Chief Justice John Roberts, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, and Justice Neil Gorsuch, Trump's first appointee to the top court, joined the court's four Democratically appointed justices in pressing Trump's personal attorney Patrick Strawbridge and a Justice Department lawyer about their arguments for allowing Trump to keep the documents from investigators.
But Gorsuch and Roberts pressed Strawbridge, as well as DOJ attorney Jeffrey Wall, on why the court should not defer to Congress on whether it has a valid reason for its subpoenas. Douglas Letter, an attorney for the House of Representatives, also faced skeptical questions from some of the justices over whether a loss for Trump could enable a flood of partisan investigations that could burden the presidency.
