Chief Justice John Roberts has put a temporary hold on the handover of former President Donald Trump's tax returns to a congressional committee.
Former President Donald Trump speaks at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday put a temporary hold on the handover of former President Donald Trump's tax returns to a congressional committee.
Roberts gave the committee until Nov. 10 to respond. The chief justice handles emergency appeals from the nation's capital, where the fight over Trump's taxes has been going on since 2019. The temporary delay imposed by Roberts is the third such order issued by justices in recent days in cases related to Trump.
The House Ways and Means panel and its chairman, Democrat Richard Neal of Massachusetts, first requested Trump's tax returns in 2019 as part of an investigation into the Internal Revenue Service's audit program and tax law compliance by the former president. A federal law says the Internal Revenue Service "shall furnish" the returns of any taxpayer to a handful of top lawmakers.
