The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for a House committee to get six years of Mr Donald Trump's tax returns, dealing a major blow to the former president and giving Democrats a late but resounding triumph after a three-year battle.
Without explanation or any public dissents, the court on Tuesday rejected Mr Trump's bid to block the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from turning over the documents to the House Ways and Means Committee.
The Ways and Means Committee has been racing the calendar to obtain the records before Republicans assume control of the House in January.
A decision granting Mr Trump's request would have kept the records sealed until the new Congress convened.
"At long last, the charade should today be over and we should get these documents transmitted to the desk of our committee chairman as soon as possible," said Representative Bill Pascrell, a New Jersey Democrat who is chairman of the Ways and Means oversight subcommittee.
