Trump takes fight to shield tax returns from House Committee to Supreme Court
CBSN
Washington – Former President Donald Trump is taking his fight to shield multiple years of his personal tax returns from House Democrats to the Supreme Court, filing an emergency request on Monday to the high court in an attempt to stop the pending disclosure.
"This case raises important questions about the separation of powers that will affect every future President," Trump's legal team wrote. "The Committee's purpose in requesting President Trump's tax returns has nothing to do with funding or staffing issues at the IRS and everything to do with releasing the President's tax information to the public."
Last week, the full federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. refused a request from the former president to reconsider a three-judge appellate panel's ruling against him.
