The United States Supreme Court has ruled that US President Donald Trump must release his tax returns and details of other financial transactions to New York prosecutors - but not to Congress, NY Post reports.
Among other things, this means that the tax records will not be released to the general public before November's election, a disappointment to Democrats.
Trump reacted in typical style to the ruling: “This is all a political prosecution. I won the Mueller Witch Hunt, and others, and now I have to keep fighting in a politically corrupt New York. Not fair to this Presidency or Administration!” the president wrote as part of a string of frantic tweets. “Courts in the past have given ‘broad deference.' BUT NOT ME!”
Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, Jr. responded to the ruling by stating that: “This is a tremendous victory for our nation’s system of justice and its founding principle that no one — not even a president — is above the law.”
