WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied President Donald Trump's plea to shield his tax returns from being turned over to a House committee.
The decision came in a one-line order with no dissents.
The court's action has the effect of upholding a longstanding request from House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., for six years of Trump's tax returns. Neal acted under a law that says the IRS "shall furnish" the committee chairman with "any return or return information" that he requested in writing.
