WASHINGTON, July 9 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked for now the Democrat-led House's subpoenas of President Donald Trump's financial records while granting Manhattan prosecutors access to them.
The court, in a 7-2 decision, ruled that Trump can not block a subpoena over his financial records from Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance since the president is not immune from criminal investigation.
Meanwhile, the court declined to issue a definitive ruling on whether congressional committees can have access to Trump's financial records, returning the issue to lower courts.
The decision means the president's financial records, including his tax returns, might be shielded from public scrutiny until after the November general elections, according to local media reports. Enditem
