The Supreme Court has granted President Donald Trump's request for an emergency stay of a federal court order that his accounting firm comply with a congressional subpoena for financial records.
The stay means Trump's records will remain confidential while the justices decide whether to take up the merits of his appeal. Since the court typically doesn't grant stays of lower court decisions unless it's inclined to reconsider them, the move could be a positive sign for Trump. Lawyers for the committee say Congress has the constitutional power to obtain information relevant to drafting laws, including stricter presidential ethics rules currently under consideration by Democrats.
The president's legal team argues that he is constitutionally immune from investigation while in office.
