The fight to obtain Trump’s tax returns could be fast-tracked to the Supreme Court in time for a decision before next fall’s election
The fight over access to President Donald Trump’s tax returns could be fast-tracked to the Supreme Court in time for a decision before next fall’s election, under an agreement struck Monday between Trump’s attorneys and a local prosecutor in New York.
The justices are under no obligation to hear the case or to schedule it as the parties request. However, a request from a sitting president would likely get close attention from the high court. While a case heard by the Supreme Court this term would likely be decided by June, a case heard in the following term would almost certainly not be decided until after the election.
Trump then appealed that decision to the 2nd Circuit. A three-judge panel, all of whom were appointed by Democratic presidents, is set to hear 40 minutes of arguments on the subject Wednesday morning. Earlier this month, a panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals voted, 2-1, to reject a suit Trump brought to block the same accounting firm from complying with a subpoena the House Oversight Committee issued in April. Trump’s attorneys could ask the full bench of the D.C. Circuit to rehear that appeal or they could ask the Supreme Court to take up the dispute.
