Supreme Court: Trump must disclose his tax returns

Former US President Donald Trump failed in his attempt before the nation's highest court to prevent the release of his tax returns to a congressional oversight committee. The Supreme Court has now rejected a request from Trump's attorneys to halt the delivery of tax documents to the financial oversight committee in the House of Representatives. Die Deutsche Presse-Agentur reports this. The Republican Party had fought for years using legal means to prevent the release of the documents to the democratically led Ausschuss, and he finally failed at the highest level. The decision was met with grudging acceptance from the democrates.
