SCOTUS tossed out Trump's latest bid to hide his tax returns — but time is not on House Democrats' side.
The Supreme Court ended the long-running dispute over Congress' access to former President Donald Trump's taxes last week. But at this point, will it matter? Likely not, according to Hayes Brown. "The clock has almost expired for Democrats to actually make use of the financial information that Trump has hidden away for so long," he writes. "In not one of those rulings did any judge — even those appointed by Trump himself — find that Congress was out of line in asking for Trump's returns," Brown notes. But since there's little time for the committee to actually do anything with any newly obtained info, the SCOTUS ruling is a "hollow victory for Democrats" as the GOP gets ready to take control of the House. So, "while he may have lost the battle," Brown writes, "it looks as though Trump may have won the war over his taxes." Read Hayes Brown's full analysis in your Monday MSNBC Daily. |
