On August 9 this year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in the District of Columbia ruled that the House Ways and Means Committee has the right to obtain Trump’s tax records from 2015 to 2020 from the Internal Revenue Service under the U.S. Treasury Department. Trump’s legal team filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court on the same day, asking the Supreme Court to suspend the implementation of the above ruling, so that the IRS temporarily refrains from submitting Trump’s tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee.
