President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to void a subpoena from the House of Representatives that seeks the president's financial records from his accounting firm.
The justices already have shielded the documents from being turned over while they consider whether to hear Trump’s case and his separate appeal of a court order that requires the same accounting firm, Mazars USA, to give his tax returns to the Manhattan District Attorney.

He knows no limits and appropriate boundaries. And I agree that we need to know all the monetary entanglements of our so-called representatives.

Members of Congress are required to file a personal financial report every year to the Clerk of the House.

Why would Trump fight so desperately to keep his taxes from the public? Every president for the last few decades has done so. What is he so afraid of the American people finding out? If they showed he was a wealthy as he claims, and as honest as he claims, he would release them in a minute. It is very unusual for a president to hide such information.

Income tax records don't show what you are worth, they show income, deductions and taxes paid. Balance sheets show worth. I have no direct knowledge of what is in them. Here is my theory. We know he had sustained losses that were heavy earlier when many also suffered them. He is allowed to carry forward those losses for up to 7 years. My suspicion is that he doesn't want the public to know that he paid no income taxes over a number of years because of the loss carry forward. While doing so is perfectly legal, that knowledge may be damaging politically since it would tarnish his claims as the supreme businessman. I have always wanted to see his balance sheets

Lots and lots of conflicts of interest which makes him ripe for extortion by many foreign entities besides Russia.
