Supreme Court clears way for House to obtain Trump's tax returns

The Supreme Court rejected Trump's last-ditch bid to block the House Ways and Means Committee from obtaining his tax returns, ending a years-long effort to keep his finances hidden from congressional oversight. In a brief order with no noted dissents, the Court allowed the IRS to release six years of Trump and Trump Organization tax records to the Democratic-led committee. The ruling was a major legal defeat that undercut his claims that he could not disclose his taxes because they were under audit and reinforced how aggressively he had fought transparency about his finances.
