Supreme Court temporarily halts court order requiring accountants to turn over Trump’s tax returns to Congress
Supreme Court temporarily halts court order requiring accountants to turn over Trump’s tax returns to Congress CNBC, Nov 18, 2019
The Supreme Court on Monday temporarily blocked a ruling that requires an accounting firm to turn President Donald Trump’s tax returns over to Congress.
The order signed by Chief Justice John Roberts gives the Democratic-controlled House Committee on Oversight and Reform until Thursday to respond. The document did not note any public votes or dissents.
Earlier in the day, attorneys for House Democrats said they would not oppose a temporary delay in enforcing the subpoena to allow the court time to consider arguments on both sides. The House Oversight Committee is expected to file its formal response to the president’s filing with the high court later this week.
A spokesperson for the committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The justices are scheduled to meet in a private conference on Friday.
