[GELORA45] Supreme Court deals Trump a defeat, upholds demand for his tax returns

[Jonathan Goeij jonathango...@yahoo.com [GELORA45]]

In one of the most anticipated rulings on presidential privilege in years, the 
justices by a 7-2 vote ruled the nation's chief executive is not above the law 
and must comply with legitimate demands from a grand jury in New York that is 
investigating Trump's alleged hush money payments to two women who claimed to 
have had sex with him.
....In a related case involving a similar subpoena from House investigators, 
the court also ruled 7-2 that the president did not have immunity. But justices 
vacated the House subpoenas, saying lower courts failed to properly balance the 
legal and constitutional questions raised by the request. They sent the matter 
back to lower courts for review.
