Trump tax returns decision - FTX bankruptcy hearing - Iran nuclear enrichment

Source: Associated Press

1. Summary
   In a decision Tuesday, the Supreme Court allowed the House Ways and Means Committee to obtain former President Donald Trump's tax returns, the latest in a winding legal fight dating back to 2019. No dissents were recorded in the decision, nor was any explanation of the decision publicly released (which is common for cases on the emergency docket).
   
   The Treasury Department had resisted calls to provide Trump's taxes during his presidency, but the Biden administration later argued that Congress has the power to examine any taxpayer's return. Trump's lawyers have argued that Congress' actions are unprecedented, saying "No Congress has ever wielded its legislative powers to demand a president’s tax returns." Lower courts have sided with the committee.
   
   The committee requested the tax returns as part of its investigation into the former president's compliance with IRS auditing. As Republicans are slated to take control of the House in January, it remains unclear what the committee will accomplish with its remaining time.
