In a ruling issued Thursday morning, the Supreme Court granted New York state prosecutors access toPresident Trump’s tax returns in a landmark decision over presidential immunity from criminal proceedings.
The Supreme Court justices upheld a Manhattan District Attorney subpoena for 8 years of Trump’s financial documents, including his personal and corporate tax returns.
Legal experts noted the ruling makes it more likely that Trump's tax returns are eventually made public, though it’s unclear if they would be disclosed before the November general election. More fundamentally, the decision narrows the immunity from criminal investigations that a sitting president enjoys.
It's widely expected that the justices will issue another decision on Thursday that also bears on Trump’s financial records.
