On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court permitted the House Ways & Means Committee to obtain President Trump’s tax returns.
“The application for stay of the mandate presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied. The order heretofore entered by The Chief Justice is vacated,” the order stated.
Fox News reported:
The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the handover of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee.
Last month, Chief Justice John Roberts granted a stay, temporarily blocking the former president from having to turn over his tax records to Democrats on the committee.
Trump and his legal team had filed asking the Supreme Court to block the release of his tax records.

Trump’s tax records are currently in the hands of the Treasury Department, which had held off releasing them pending final court action.
It is unclear when the tax records will be turned over or what the Democrat-controlled panel will do with them now that Republicans have taken over the House majority.
