US Supreme Court throws out rulings allowing congressional committees to obtain Trump's financial records
|The US Supreme Court threw out rulings allowing the Democratic-led congressional committees to obtain US President Donald Trump's financial records, as reported by Reuters. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court's ruling still lets a New York prosecutor obtain those records.
"One ruling means that the subpoena issued to Trump's long-term accounting firm, Mazars LLP, for various financial records to be turned over to a grand jury as part of a criminal investigation can be enforced," Reuters explained
With this decision, the Supreme Court has effectively sent the dispute back to lower courts.
