It’s the former president’s last resort to stop the disclosure of his much-discussed tax returns, which would give lawmakers an unprecedented view into his murky financials.
Former President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to stop a House committee from viewing his tax returns in a Monday afternoon court filing, a last-resort attempt to block Congress from receiving documents that could shine a light into Trump’s oft-discussed business dealings.
A federal appeals court ruled in August the Democrat-controlled House Committee on Ways and Means could access Trump’s returns and denied his plea to rehear the case last week.
