The public may not see Trump's tax records before the 2020 election, despite the Supreme Court's rulings against him
President Donald Trump listens during a "National Dialogue on Safely Reopening America's Schools," event in the East Room of the White House, Tuesday, July 7, 2020, in Washington. The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that New York prosecutors can see President Donald Trump's financial records and that Congress has the authority to subpoena the president's records.
The Court ruled that the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus Vance, can legally obtain the eight years of business and personal tax documents he and his team of prosecutors subpoenaed related to their investigation into hush-money payments Trump and his company made leading up to the 2016 election. In a second case concerning Trump's financial records, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress has the authority to subpoena the president, but that it must reach a higher standard of review than it would in cases not involving the president. The Court's remanded the case to the lower courts to decide exactly what Congress should be required to prove when subpoenaing the president — a process that could take months.
But Trump might not have to face the consequences of the rulings until after the November presidential election. When it comes to the Supreme Court's ruling on Congress' power to subpoena the president, experts say it will take even longer for the public to see the relevant records. And they may never see them at all.
