House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the Supreme Court ruling that a New York prosecutor can obtain Trump's financial records is ‘not good news’ for the president
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday firmly rejected President Donald Trump’s argument for sweeping presidential immunity and ruled that a New York prosecutor can obtain his financial records but prevented - at least for now - Democratic-led House of Representatives committees from getting similar documents.
“This is a tremendous victory for our nation’s system of justice and its founding principle that no one - not even a president - is above the law,” said Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, a Democrat, in relation to the ruling in his case. “We will now proceed to raise additional constitutional and legal issues in the lower courts,” said Jay Sekulow, Trump’s personal lawyer.
“We affirm that principle today and hold that the president is neither absolutely immune from state criminal subpoenas seeking his private papers nor entitled to a heightened standard of need,” Roberts added. Roberts’ analysis of the congressional subpoenas hinged on the competing political interests between different branches of government.
