WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
SCOTUS – The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to wade into a clash over the secrecy of Donald Trump’s financial records, as the president’s lawyers urged the justices Thursday to stop a Manhattan grand jury from acquiring eight years of his tax returns. Marcia Coyle and Mike Scarcella report that the petition is likely the beginning of a series of Trump-related cases expected to reach the high court in the coming months. In fact, a new federal appeals ruling in Washington late Wednesday—saying Trump’s accounting firm must comply with a congressional subpoena—could land at SCOTUS by next week.
