Trump Asks Supreme Court To Keep Tax Returns From House Committee

Former President Trump is asking justices to block the Treasury Department from turning over his tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee.

Former President Donald Trump is going to the Supreme Court, again, this time to try to stop his tax returns from being handed to a congressional committee.

In an emergency appeal filed Monday, Trump wants the court to order at least a temporary hold on the Treasury Department turning over his returns to the Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee.

Lower courts ruled that the committee has broad authority to obtain tax returns and rejected Trump's claims that it was overstepping.
