Former President Donald Trump on Monday asked the Supreme Court to intervene in his long-running legal battle with the House Ways & Means Committee over access to years worth of his tax returns.
Trump’s request came to the nation’s highest court days after the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit declined to reconsider an August ruling by a three-judge panel that unanimously sided with the House committee in the dispute.
The former president asked the Supreme Court to pause enforcement of the appeals court ruling so that he has time to submit a formal appeal of the decision to the high court.
“This case raises important questions about the separation of powers that will affect every future president,” Trump said in legal papers Monday.
