The Supreme Court on Monday said it will not speed up the process for getting President Donald Trump’s legal battle with House Democrats over the president’s business records back into the lower courts.
The House legal counsel had asked the court to immediately put into effect its decision this month that said while Trump did not have an absolute right to refuse to comply with legitimate congressional subpoenas for documents, Congress also did not have unlimited authority to seek materials from a president because its demands must be connected to a legitimate legislative purpose.
The ruling sent the case back to the lower courts, where the scope of the House subpoenas is likely to be narrowed.
