Supreme Court Hears Oral Arguments On Trump Tax Return Case
Supreme Court justices and lawyers debated the merits of a case about whether President Trump can block the release of his financial records.
“What’s really happening here could not be clearer: The presidency is being harassed and undermined with improper process that was issued in our view for illegitimate reasons. The copying of the subpoenas speaks to that. The framers saw this coming, and they structured the Constitution to protect the president from this encroachment.” “The House has put legislation where its mouth is. We have specifically provided bills. There would be a limit if Congress is interfering with the president’s ability to carry out his Article II functions. No such claim has been made here nor obviously can it be made.” “I think it’s fairly common knowledge that Mr. Trump, before he was president, was thinking about running for president for a very long period of time. Why is it that Congress can’t believe that looking at longstanding relationships, and how those relationships changed or didn’t change, is important to knowing what undue influence might be occurring?” “At no place do you make a case as to why these particular subpoenas place a particular burden on the president, such that he will be prevented from carrying out his constitutional responsibilities?” “We believe a prosecutor should be required to show: one, an objective basis for the investigation and two, a reasonable probability the request would yield relevant information.” “The prosecutor would have to show that the information can’t be obtained from another source or would be very — it would be very difficult to obtain it from another source.”
