The Supreme Court has ordered Trump’s tax returns to be handed over to House Democrats

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the Chief Minister’s handover President Trump Tax reports to the House Ways and Means Committee.

Last month, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a temporary injunction Blocking the former president Democrats on the committee must turn over their tax records.

Trump and his legal team filed a petition with the Supreme Court to block the release of his tax records.

But on Tuesday, Roberts formally denied the claim.

“The application for stay of order submitted to the Chief Justice and the petition sent by him to the court is rejected,” the order said. “The order already passed by the Chief Justice is set aside.”

The Trump administration has refused to turn over six years of tax records, but the Biden Justice Department reversed that position in 2021, saying Congress could review the records, which Trump and his legal team have appealed in the current legal battle. Lower courts sided with the House committee.

At this point, it’s unclear when the tax records will be turned over, or what the Democratic-controlled committee will do with them now that Republicans are poised to seize the House majority.
