Cyrus ofs invested cyrus investigation the president has denied those claims. Hush moneyse payments were recorded in the Trump Organization business records. , the new York District attorney, picking up on that investigation to see if any new york state crimes may have been committed in those transactions. He is seeking those records from the accountants of mr. Trump and the Trump Organization. He is that is what he is after. The president intervened. Once the District Attorney issued a subpoena saying he is immune from investigation by state prosecutor while he remains in office. He has constitutional immunity from even investigative process short of indictment. Host does the courts decision mean the District Attorney will be able to get those records anytime soon . Guest probably not soon if we mean soon like next week. But what the court said in essence is that the president has no absolute immunity. He is limited to the same types of defense as anybody who is being investigated can raise about alleging the subpoena is too broad or prosecutor is engaging in some selective prosecution. Those are typical defenses, and if he has some claim he is being harassed to interfere with his official duties, he might raise that defense in federal court. Those will certainly be explored by the president s lawyers. I dont think they will be anytime soon the prosecutor will get the records, but it seems plausible he could get those within a matter of months. Host what about the other case . Certain House Committees seeking records. What were they looking for . Guest they are looking for the same records, the same set of records. The fact that new york subpoena was modeled on one of the House Committee subpoenas. The outcome in that case was somewhat different. Essentially, the Supreme Court the the interest of congress in that information is perhaps less significant than the prussic eaters looking into evidence into a specific crime. That is his rationale. The houses rationale was that they need information to inform future legislation. The Supreme Court seemed to feel that was perhaps less urgent and the house would have to demonstrate why and what exactly it needed records for the president for to pursue that course. Court was concerned the house did not really give limits to its power to investigate the president. They thought the president s gave hiswas he arguments to the ability to exclude house investigators. Host you write in your wall street journal piece that cases like this are rare because, during most of u. S. History, the executive and legislative branches have worked out accommodations that reflected each others roles. At the same time, no president s private dealings have been under criminal investigation, providing no previous opportunity for a conflict between a local grand jury and white house to arise. The majority,es, make note of the failure of legislative and executive branch to work out their differences become before coming to the court of last resort . Guest absolutely. Chief justice who wrote the opinion made that point quite clearly and seemed disappointed forced to that he was intervene in this dispute between coequal political branches, elected branches. He almost tried the two sides for not being able to reach an accommodation. Accommodations have been reached and are motivated by not having a course go to this or bring court with the boundaries of each branchs power not to precisely defined by the constitution. Neither one once to risk a big loss at the Supreme Court. Here, we are not in that kind of era. Each side was willing to go for broke. Host lastly, the president s two appointees voting with the majority in the 72 scission on balance decision on balance. Have those two generally voted in favor of administration cases involving the Trump Administration . Guest in general, they have sided with the administration. Not always. This is one most significant example, but last month, Justice Gorsuch wrote the opinion of shovel rights projections civil rights projections to lgbt employees. Trump took the opposite position. So they have not always voted with the president. This time, quite the significantly, they did not. Host a Supreme Court q a, the night, on history of voting in the United States and some of the issues around voting today. The Shelby County decision had a massive impact on Voting Rights and their isnt any Voting Rights advocate or attorney that doesnt see it as a ground shaking impact. While, of course, the voting laws that are discriminatory are still illegal, there is not oversight of the history of discrimination, the kind of stopgap where they need federal approval to make voting changes.
