The Supreme Court delivered rulings on a pair of requests for President Trump’s financial records. Both cases were remanded back to the lower courts.
In a 7-2 decision, the Supremes ruled that the request from Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance can go forward with the majority noting that blanket immunity does not apply in this case to stop the subpoena. It wasn’t a complete loss for the President though, the Court provided a roadmap on how the Trump team could challenge the subpoena going forward. This should drag the case out until after the election.
In the second case the Court ruled the lower courts did not give enough weight to the separation of powers, and remanded the case back to the lower courts for more deliberation.
This is a major setback for the House Democrats.

The President had this to say about the decisions:
Regardless of how this is spun in the media, both rulings are a win for the Trump team. Neither case will be resolved prior to the November elections. And in this case, delay is as good as an outright win.
