The Supreme Court has declined a request from former President Donald Trump to withhold his tax records from the Manhattan district attorney after New York state prosecutors sought his personal and corporate tax returns.
The move serves a post-presidency defeat to Mr Trump, who has for years battled to keep his tax records private, and paves the way for a New York grand jury to review his long-sought financial records.
On Monday, the nation’s highest court refused to block a lower court ruling, which had previously declined the former president’s request.
