Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has temporarily granted President Trump a stay. This action will keep him from having to turn over his tax records to the House Ways and Means Committee. The Committee has been trying to gather Trump’s tax returns since 2019. Trump’s administration has been able to hold the Committee off since then. This Supreme Court decision comes just one day after Trump and his legal team asked the Court to block the release of his tax records.

This situation has become a legal battle since 2021 when the Justice Department stated that Congress should be able to review Trump’s tax documents. Last week, the D.C. Circuit Court denied Trump’s request to stop the release. Though Monday the decision went to the Supreme Court and ended in Trump’s favor.

Fox has reported that Justice Robert’s statement read,

“Upon consideration of the application of counsel for the applicants, it is so ordered that the mandate of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, case No. 21-5289, is hereby stayed pending further order of the undersigned or of the court.”

Justice Roberts has also ordered the Committee to respond to the statement by Thursday, November 10th at noon.
