A committee in the US House of Representatives has the right to see President Donald Trump’s tax returns. The Supreme Court has finally decided that.

Since 2019, the committee has requested to see the then president’s income declarations. As long as Trump was president, the Justice Department refused to subpoena the documents, but last year the new administration in Washington ordered the IRS to hand over the records.

Trump then went to court to try to keep the declarations secret, but he has now lost in three instances.

Trump was the first president in 40 years not to release his tax returns.
