The US Supreme Court rejects an appeal by Trump to prevent his tax returns from reaching Congress

MADRID, 22 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Supreme Court of the United States on Tuesday rejected an appeal filed by former President Donald Trump to try to prevent the Internal Revenue Service from turning over its tax returns to a House committee led by Democrats.

The Supreme Court's decision is, therefore, a great defeat for a Trump who in recent years has worked hard to prevent his tax returns from coming to light, just at a time when investigations into his contributions have multiplied. , collects CNN.

In fact, the House Ways and Means Committee already tried to get hold of Trump's tax returns in 2019, with the tycoon still as president of the United States, the main reason why this requirement was unsuccessful. Already in 2021, with Joe Biden as a tenant of the White House, the petitions resumed.

The case now takes a new turn of the wheel after just three weeks ago the Supreme Court itself temporarily prohibited the publication of said tax returns, until other judicial instances evaluated whether or not the review of previous rulings of the justice on this matter.

Therefore, now the commission of the House of Representatives can get to obtain the statements of the tycoon in the fastest way possible. Meanwhile, Trump's lawyers believe that the committee's true intentions are to disclose said tax information to the public.
