The Supreme Court denied President Trump’s plea to shield his tax returns from being turned over to a House committee. The decision came in a one-line order with no dissents.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied President Trump’s plea to shield his tax returns from being turned over to a House committee.The court’s action has the effect of upholding a longstanding request from House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal for six years of Trump’s tax returns. Neal acted under a law that says the Internal Revenue Service “shall furnish” the committee chairman with “any return or return information” that he requested in writing.
Trump and his lawyers had already lost before a federal district judge appointed by Trump and an appeals court panel with two Republican appointees.Trump, who last week announced he will run for president in 2024, filed an emergency appeal asking the justices to intervene and block the IRS from turning over his tax records to the committee.
Two years ago, the Supreme Court handed down a split decision when it considered two cases involving Trump’s taxes. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. cited the “separation of powers” and questioned whether House Democrats had legitimate legislative reasons for seeking personal information from the chief executive.

Supreme Court Allows Release of Donald Trump's Tax Records to House DemocratsThe Supreme Court has cleared the way for the handover of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns to a congressional committee after a three-year legal fight. The Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee had asked for six years of tax returns for Trump and some of his businesses, from 2015 to 2020. The court’s order Tuesday leaves no legal obstacle in the way. The Treasury Department refused to provide the records during Trump’s presidency. But the Biden administration said federal law is clear that the committee has the right to examine any taxpayer’s return, including the president’s. Lower courts agreed, rejecting Trump’s claims that the committee only wanted the documents to make them public.
