WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump won at least a temporary reprieve from the Supreme Court earlier this week in keeping secret grand jury materials from the Russia investigation away from Democratic lawmakers.
The president and his administration are counting on the justices for more help to stymie other investigations and lawsuits.
The high court is weighing Trump’s bid to block subpoenas for his tax, banking and financial records. It will soon be asked by the administration to kill a lawsuit alleging that Trump is illegally profiting from his luxury hotel near the White House.
And a dispute over Congress' demand for the testimony of former White House counsel Don McGahn also could find its way to the justices before long.
