Trump's personal value trial in US Supreme Court

U.S. Supreme Court delays arguments due to Coronavirus threat ...

In the wake of the ongoing constitutional debate over presidential powers in the United States, the US Supreme Court has begun a trial to determine whether the president has the right to keep his financial affairs secret. President Trump has not yet released documents that would reveal his personal wealth and the finances of his family company. The president refused to provide the documents, despite requests from two US congressional committees and the New York prosecutor's office to pay taxes to President Trump. The president's lawyer argues that as long as Donald Trump is president, he has immunity and is not obliged to provide this information. Experts say the Supreme Court's decision will have far-reaching implications for the ruling Congress's ability to review the president's actions and for prosecutors to investigate.  The verdict is expected to be announced before the November presidential election. If a decision is made against President Trump, all his financial affairs will come to light during the election campaign. Due to the Corona virus epidemic, the Supreme Court judges will hold the hearing over the telephone. The three petitions, which are being heard, allege that President Trump's lawyers tried to block the issuance of summons to provide evidence. The lower courts in Washington and New York have ruled against the president, but the executions have been postponed until the Supreme Court rules. In the US House of Representatives, where the opposition Democratic Party has a majority, two committees called on two banks, Deutsche Bank and Capital One, and President Trump's accountant Mazaris to provide details of the president's accounts and assets. Deutsche Bank is one of the few banks that was willing to lend despite the bankruptcy of several companies in the 1990s, and documents requested by Congress include President Trump, his Trump organization And details of his family business.  President Trump's lawyers have argued that Congress does not have the authority to issue summonses. The president's accountant Mazaris was also summoned by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Venus, who is politically affiliated with the Democratic Party. The investigation involved payments made by former President Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen to adult filmmaker Stormy Dennis and Playboy model Karen McDougall. The two women said they had an affair with the president. In the case, President Trump's lawyers said the relevant record could not be provided because Donald Trump has immunity as president and no criminal action can be taken against him. Unlike other former presidents, President Trump has refused to provide details of his tax liabilities, and the lawsuit is one of the most controversial in the president's powers. In 1974, the Supreme Court unanimously decided that then-President Richard Nixon should comply with court orders and present all tapes of the Watergate scandal to the court. Then, in 1997, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Clinton should be tried for sexual harassment. Judges nominated by President Nixon and President Clinton to the Supreme Court also ruled against him. In the current Supreme Court, the Republican Party has a five-judge lead over four, including two judges nominated by President Trump, Neil Gorsch and Brett Kavanagh.
