SCOTUS to hear arguments on blocking of President Trump's taxes and financial records from Congress

Lawyers for President Trump will present arguments Tuesday before the Supreme Court that the president and former New York businessman should be able to bar access to his tax returns and other financial documents being sought by three congressional committees and a New York prosecutor.

The president’s lawyers will argue that the requests for the documents are political ploys, and the House Democrats will argue that the president does not have the right to block the subpoenas because they are technically directed toward his banking institutions and financial handlers.

Personal lawyers for Trump will also argue that Congress does not have the power to issue subpoenas for any purpose outside of writing laws. Claiming, as the House Democrats have, that the Trump's banking information could lead to change in existing laws, is not enough, say his lawyers.

“These subpoenas are no more valid than would be demands for the president’s medical records to Congress may consider health care reform … Exposing private details about individuals is not a power Congress holds, yet that has been the goal here from the start,” wrote POTUS’s attorneys in their Supreme Court brief.

The rulings for these cases are expected by late June.
