On Tuesday, after a years-long legal battle, the Supreme Court denied former President Donald Trump’s request to block a House committee from accessing his tax returns. Left-leaning articles highlight that Trump’s lawyers argue that the request for Trump’s financial information is politically motivated, while right-leaning articles highlight the history of the legal battle for Trump’s tax returns.
USA Today published a centrist article reporting that the Supreme Court denied Trump’s request to intervene in the release of Trump’s tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee. The court declined his request without comment, which the article noted is standard for emergency dockets. It also highlighted that when Republicans take over the House early next year, they will most likely drop the request.
A left-leaning article by CNN highlighted that Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said the committee anticipates receiving the tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service next week. It also highlighted that an earlier court case involving the House Oversight Committee’s pursuit of Trump tax information, called the Mazars, has been cited by Trump’s lawyers as being politically motivated and paved the way for future court cases of a similar nature, such as this one.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted the history of the legal battle between Trump and the House committee for his tax returns, starting in 2019. Trump’s tax records are currently being held by the Treasury Department pending a final decision regarding their release. Fox also highlighted that it is “unclear” what will become of the case requesting Trump’s tax returns once Republicans take control of the House in January.
