Supreme Court Rulings on Trump Subpoenas
Once you get passed the window dressing it is obvious that the Supreme Court has handed Donald Trump a huge victory. While the court rejected his claim of immunity from investigation and prosecution, that specious contention was always a non-starter and it is hardly surprising that the justices slapped it down.
The bottom line, however, is that Mr. Trump will be enabled to keep his financial and tax records from public scrutiny until well after the election and, given the litany of tests that the court said Congress must satisfy in order to compel delivery of any documents by the president, it seems likely that this or any future president has been given a clear path to thwarting congressional investigations going forward.
