Donald Trump has to hand out his tax documents.
The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for ex-President Donald Trump’s tax records to be handed over to a congressional committee. The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied a request by Trump’s lawyers to stop the transmission of the tax documents. The Republican had fought back once morest the publication of the documents through legal means for years and finally failed at the highest level.
