The Supreme Court sided with former President Donald Trump, temporarily shielding his tax returns from the House Ways and Means Committee.
PUBLISHED 2:29 PM ET Oct. 31, 2022The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with former President Donald Trump, issuing an order temporarily shielding his tax returns from beind turned over to the House Ways and Means Committee.
In his emergency appeal filed Monday, Trump said that without the court's intervention, the handover could have happened as soon as Thursday Lower courts ruled that the committee has broad authority to obtain tax returns and rejected Trump's claims that it was overstepping. The order does not weigh in on the merits of Trump's request, but rather keeps a lower court ruling on hold while the Supreme Court considers the former president's appeal.
The House Ways and Means panel and its chairman, Democrat Richard Neal of Massachusetts, first requested Trump's tax returns in 2019 as part of an investigation into the Internal Revenue Service's audit program and tax law compliance by the former president. A federal law says the Internal Revenue Service "shall furnish" the returns of any taxpayer to a handful of top lawmakers.
