The Supreme Court has ruled that Manhattan's chief prosecutor can obtain Donald Trump's business records and tax returns in a defeat for the President, CBS News and others report.
President Trump reacted to the ruling on Twitter, writing, "The Supreme Court sends case back to Lower Court, arguments to continue. This is all a political prosecution. I won the Mueller Witch Hunt, and others, and now I have to keep fighting in a politically corrupt New York. Not fair to this Presidency or Administration!"
Meanwhile, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance dubbed the ruling a "tremendous victory for our nation’s system of justice and its founding principle that no one – not even a president – is above the law."
"Our investigation, which was delayed for almost a year by this lawsuit, will resume, guided as always by the grand jury’s solemn obligation to follow the law and the facts, wherever they may lead,” Vance continued in a statement.
Meanwhile, NBC News reports that the Supreme Court ruling has, however, given the President the chance to "beat back" Democrat efforts to obtain his financial records.
