WASHINGTON (AP) – The last legal obstacle preventing Congress from obtaining Donald Trump’s taxes has fallen. On Tuesday the Supreme Court rejected the former president’s plea for an order to prevent the Treasury Department from giving six years of tax returns for Trump and some of his businesses to the Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee. The Biden administration has argued that federal law is clear that the committee has the right to examine any taxpayer’s return. In a message on his social media network, Trump says the Supreme Court’s action creates “terrible precedent for future Presidents.” He accuses the court of becoming “nothing more than a political body” with the country paying the price.
