| US Supreme Court denies President Trump's bid to conceal financial records |
| 2021-02-22 |
| [WION] The US Supreme Court put a new New York grand jury on the brink of getting eight years of Donald Trump’s tax returns and other financial records, ending months of delay by rejecting his bid to keep the information private. The decision, the second time the Apex court has weighed in on the matter, was announced in an order with no noted dissents. The news further imperils the ex-president, who is facing investigations in New York and elsewhere. The development is a brutal defeat for the former president. Trump has dismissed the Manhattan prosecutors' investigation as a political "witch hunt" and has fought all the way to the high court to keep his tax returns under wraps. Because of the secrecy of grand jury proceedings, the decision does not mean Trump's financial records will become public. Trump has been waging a protracted legal battle to prevent his tax records from being handed over to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. |

| #7 Honestly! With all of the multi-state and multinational investments Trump's financial tax documents must fill a warehouse by now. With everyone auditing him the Occam's Razor supposition is that "Trump is about a clean as you can be in a world where, as the saying goes, 'Everyone breaks at least four laws every day' . |

| #3 "Because of the secrecy of grand jury proceedings, the decision does not mean Trump's financial records will become public." They'll be leaked to the public within a month. There will be nothing in there. Trump's taxes are not done by Trump the day before Tax day. they are don't be a horde of the best tax attorneys and most certainly gone over by the IRS with a fine toothed comb already. |

| #2 Make everybody's tax records public! We all have equal standing before the court IAW the 14th Amendment. We all should be treated the same on the issue. |

| #1 Keep private. Conceal is when 10% has to be laundered into the account. |
