Mega defeat for Donald Trump in tax dispute
Ex-President Donald Trump (76) has to hand over his tax documents. The Supreme Court decided that. For Trump, this decision is a bitter defeat.
Donald Trump has to hand out his tax documents.
The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for ex-President Donald Trump’s tax records to be handed over to a congressional committee. The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied a request by Trump’s lawyers to stop the transmission of the tax documents. The Republican had fought back against the publication of the documents through legal means for years and finally failed at the highest level.
Contrary to custom in the United States, real estate entrepreneur Trump did not make his tax returns public either as a presidential candidate or after moving into the White House. Critics therefore suspect that he has something to hide.
