The Supreme Court sent that decision to a lower court. It is unlikely Congress will see the documents before the election.
The President made it clear on Twitter that he was unhappy with the decision. In a Twitter thread, he called the decision “unfair,” “PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT” and a “witch hunt”. He also said that the court would have ruled differently if there was a different president in question.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision concerning the New York ruling. “Since the earliest (days) of the Republic, ‘every man’ has included the president of the United States,” said Roberts. “Beginning with Jefferson and carrying on through Clinton, presidents have uniformly testified or produced documents in criminal proceedings when called upon by federal courts.”
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany reaffirmed what Trump has been saying for years: once the president’s taxes are no longer under audit, he will release them freely.
