China News Agency, Washington, July 9th (Reporter Chen Mengtong) The US Supreme Court ruled separately on two lawsuits involving Trump's financial records, finding that New York City Manhattan prosecutors can obtain relevant financial records, but the The lawsuit in Congress was sent back to the lower court for retrial.

  In 2019, the Committee of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress and the New York City Manhattan District Prosecutors each launched a Trump investigation and sought to retrieve their financial records for several years. The US Supreme Court accepted the relevant lawsuit in December of that year.

  The US Supreme Court dismissed Trump's appeal on the same day, allowing Manhattan District Attorney Vance to obtain his personal and corporate financial records. Vance is investigating whether the Trump Group forged business records to conceal the sealing fees paid to the two women.

  In another case, the Supreme Court held that the summons required by the President to provide personal information involved “special concerns” about the separation of powers and decided to send it back to the lower court for retrial. The ruling stated that although Congress has the power to request the President to provide personal information, this power is not unrestricted.

  The voting results of the above two decisions are 7 to 2. Chief Justice Roberts, two justices nominated by Trump, Gosac and Kavanaugh, and four "liberal" justices formed a majority opinion.

  Regarding the ruling, US President Trump said on social media that the Supreme Court has generally respected successive presidents in the past, "but not respect me."

  The Speaker of the House of Representatives and Democrat Pelosi issued a statement saying that the Supreme Court’s ruling reaffirmed the power of Congress to exercise supervision on behalf of the American people. She said that she will continue to push the lower courts to try related cases.

  Vance also said that his investigation will continue. "No one, even the president, can override the law. This is a huge victory for the American judicial system and the principles of founding the country."

  All along, American presidential candidates have a tradition of disclosing financial and tax information. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump refused to disclose tax information on the grounds that he was "under audit." He was also the first US president to refuse public financial records in more than 40 years.

  US media analysis said that these two rulings seemed to be unfavorable to Trump, but it is almost certain that his financial records will be out of sight before the November election. "Don't peek, voters. The court temporarily kept Trump's financial records secret." The Associated Press titled the key message behind the Supreme Court's ruling.

  Analysts believe that because these two cases involve a lot of lower-level work, it is unlikely that the public will be informed of these financial records before the election.

  Trump lawyer Sekuluo issued a statement on the 9th, saying, “We are pleased that the Supreme Court’s ruling temporarily prevented Congress and New York prosecutors from obtaining the president’s financial records. We will continue to raise more constitutional and legal issues in lower courts. "

  The "Washington Post" commented that the ruling of the day meant that this political game, which lasted more than a year, came to an end temporarily. "However, in the context of the president's long-term attempts to prevent financial records from affecting his political destiny, this is a victory that is not worth the loss." (End)
