Description

Today, on the last day of the Supreme Court term, the court handed down two cases that will define the contours of congressional power and presidential immunity. 
In one case, congressional committees subpoenaed the president’s personal financialrecords, claiming that they needed this information to analyze government ethics laws and foreign influence into domestic elections. In the other case, a New York prosecutor, on behalf of a grand jury, issued  subpoenas for Trump’s accountant and banks as part of an investigation into hush money payments made to women who allegedly had affairs with Trump. What did the Supreme Court say?
Join host Jessica Levinson as she walks you through these blockbuster decisions and explains what they mean for future presidents. 
The bottom line? Unless President Trump decides to release his financial records(which he won’t), the public will still not see that information before the 2020 election.
