SCOTUS Orders Trump Tax Records Released

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the handover of former President Trump’s tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee.

Last month, Chief Justice John Roberts granted a stay, temporarily blocking the former president from having to turn over his tax records to Democrats on the committee.

Trump and his legal team had filed asking the Supreme Court to block the release of his tax records.

I remember when he said he'd release them, and even went after other people like Ted Cruz for not showing his, but then trump himself made all the excuses to remain the only president who didn't disclose anything

@deadgerbil And that would be just one of the 40,000+ lies he told, even before his term started.

All it took was Trump costing the Republicans the Senate
Yeah yay America

Just read that. No dissents which was interesting.

@Ynotisay Gives more insight into Trump's mind. He really thinks that he owns the court, because he appointed some judges.
Ynotisay · M
@Northwest He does. And that goes for all his appointments. When they decide against him he must lose his freaking mind. You're right. I'm sure he feels he owns them. Good to see that he doesn't.

@Ynotisay The sign of a true narcissist. Everyone who disagrees with him must be against him and is clearly jealous of his success.

Trump is going down in flames - because his pants keep catching fire.

@Vin53 Would you like fries with that ?

[@samueltyler2 ] The House Ways And Means Committee (https://waysandmeans.house.gov/subcommittees/ways-and-means-117th-congress), asked for Trump's tax records, as part of an investigation they were conducting. Trump said no. The committee got a court ordered compelling the IRS to hand the records over, Trump appealed to SCOTUS, and Chief Justice Roberts put a hold on that order, until SCOTUS could deliberate it. The did, and delivered their ruling today: the IRS will turn the records over to the House Ways and Means Committee, which has several Republicans on it.

Fox News said SCOTUS orders records released to Democrats on the committee. Which is a lie, but that's what their readers will now believe.=

Ignorant about the process so forgive me if I say something heretic, but couldn't the new Republican majority in the house stop this, if they're the recipient? Or actually disband the committee?
Elessar · 26-30, M
@samueltyler2 So this will ultimately be delayed until then, I would imagine

@Elessar no, the court said the records are to released now!
@Elessar The J6 com. will publish all the interview transcripts and other documents from it's investigation. Looking at Dec. 1 or Dec. 2

Slytherin confirmed. I didn't realize this was supposed to be "no step on the basilisk" 🤔
I do have a tendency to shout Slytherin even before I touch the head 😬🤪

Let me check, do i understand correctly, the tax records go to only the Republicans? How much clearer does.he have to be that he has backed the politicalization of SCOTUS?

No. I copied the news item from Fox. They make it sound as if it's for the Democrats, and their audience laps it up.

@Northwest I am lost, so what just happened, to day?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@samueltyler2 according to the NY Times, SCOTUS, in an unsigned response to a request to block the release of his tax records, SCOTUS instructed the Treasury dept to release the records. The house's request to SCOTUS to reverse the Roberts opinion stated that, with a new Congress being seating in January, this Congress can not complete its work if the tax returns are not released now. Advantage House of Representatives.

Then the House Dems need to get busy before they lose the majority

I see a lot of time off between now and then due to holidays, so as soon as they receive them, they should immediately publish them, it may be the last thing they get to do, and then the GQP majority House cannot deny what is contained in them thereafter
