US supreme court tackles politics’ most tantalising my those who've seen Trump's tax returns, can't speak about the numbers as they were forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement, said that if they get published, the public will see that his business isn't as robust, strong and successful as he is saying, and the most important thing of it all, are his foreign money incomes, which are the most dangerous for his presidential position, could show how compromised he is. |

US supreme court tackles politics’ most tantalising my Frequently Asked Questions 1. Are presidents required to release their tax returns? Presidents aren’t required by law to release their tax returns. Nevertheless, between 1974 and 2012, every president but Gerald Ford has made a voluntary release of the tax returns they filed while in office. Ford released no complete returns, but released 10 years of summary data including gross income, taxable income, major deductions, and taxes paid.

US supreme court tackles politics’ most tantalising my House committees and a N.Y. prosecutor want to get their hands on the president's documents in twin blockbuster cases on Tuesday. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78906400 WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's lawyers will urge the Supreme Court on Tuesday to let him block access to his tax returns and other financial documents sought by three congressional committees and a New York prosecutor. In one of the most closely watched disputes of the court's term, the cases will test the justices' independence and could yield major rulings on the power of Congress to demand documents from a sitting president — or the authority of a president to refuse. The court will hear the two separate cases by telephone conference call with each justice taking a turn to ask questions, a process that began May 4 and for the most part has worked smoothly, despite a toilet flushing faux pas. It has, however, tamed the normal back and forth of oral argument, and the questioning has been less aggressive. Live audio of the argument will be available on C-SPAN. Whichever way the court rules, the decisions — there will be one for each case — will be a blockbuster. The rulings will probably be released by late next month.

Why is Trump going to court to stop his tax records being looked at? What is Trump hiding? What is Trump afraid of? |

[link to www.theguardian.com (secure)] I am not for or against Trump as President but tired of his lies. Trump promised to release his taxes, so I hope SCOTUS OKs the release. I will bet we will see Trump is not nearly as wealthy as he claims, I doubt he is a billionaire. Real estate developers always live large on debt. |
