Supreme Court Hears Two Cases Involving Trump's Financial Records

VOA News

   The U.S. Supreme Court appears to be divided over two separate cases
   involving whether President Donald Trump must turn over his tax returns
   and financial records after subpoenas from congressional Democrats and
   a New York City district attorney.

   The nine justices heard nearly three-and-a-half hours of arguments by
   telephone due to lockdown precautions caused by the coronavirus
   pandemic.

   Congress has subpoenaed the president's bank and tax records as part of
   its investigations into his business dealings. The probe includes
   questions about whether Trump overstated his wealth, as well as
   allegations of money laundering.
