Trump Asks Supreme Court to Block Release of Tax Returns to Congress
Jan Wolfe, Richard Rubin -

WASHINGTON—Former President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to block a House committee from obtaining his past tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service before a Thursday deadline for the material to be turned over.

In an emergency application filed on Monday to Chief Justice John Roberts, who is responsible for such requests for the D.C.

Such an order would block the Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee from accessing the tax documents until further legal briefs are filed before the justices.
