The Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for the imminent handover of former President Donald Trump's tax returns to a congressional committee after a three-year legal fight.
The court, without comment, rejected Trump's plea for an order that would have prevented the Treasury Department from giving six years of tax returns forIt was Trump's second loss at the Supreme Court in as many months, and third this year. In October, the court refused to step into the legal fight surrounding the FBI search of Trump's Florida estate that turned up classified documents.
In the dispute over his tax returns, the Treasury Department had refused to provide the records during Trump's presidency. But the Biden administration said federal law is clear that the committee has the right to examine any taxpayer's return, including the president's. Chief Justice John Roberts imposed a temporary freeze on Nov. 1 to allow the court to weigh the legal issues raised by Trump's lawyers and the counter arguments of the administration and the House of Representatives.campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Now that Trump's been roasted, who will be the Next One?HALIFAX—Now that Donald Trump, like most weenies, has been roasted, the burning question south of the border is who will be the Next One. Why roasted? Simple. Trump has proven himself to be a Losing Legend. First the House and Senate in the 2018 midterms, then the White House after one term, and finally the debacle involving his hand-picked candidates in the Nov. 8 midterms of 2022. And don’t forget that his big-ticket donations, like Lake Mead, are drying up. No small development, since money is the mother’s milk of politics. When you are expecting a feast and get a pie in the face, as the GOP did in the midterms, anger and disillusionment are inevitable.

Channelling his inner viper, Trump has already begun to attack the man he has dubbed Ron “DeSanctimonious.” First Trump gives you a nickname, then the claws come out.

Then he directed a zinger of his own at Trump: “Go check out the scoreboard,” a pointed reference to the GOP’s dismal showing in the midterm elections. You may be sure Trump is already sticking pins in a Ron DeSantis doll. The main reason DeSantis’ political star is in the ascent for now is that he appears to be Trump without the baggage. He has the same sort of bristling conservative values, but no porn stars or
