SCOTUS Temporarily Blocks Subpoenas For Trump's Financial Records

The transcript discusses a legal battle involving President Donald Trump, where two banks, Deutsche Bank and Capital One, are ordered to release his financial records to House committees.

The Supreme Court, led by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has put a hold on the lower court's ruling until December 13th. The banks have stated they do not possess Trump's tax returns, though Deutsche Bank has some returns. Trump has also petitioned the Supreme Court regarding another case on his tax returns.
