BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled prosecutors in New York can subpoena Trump's tax returns. This is a blow to Trump, who argued for immunity, and DOJ, which argued for a higher standard for this type of subpoena — the majority rejected both arguments. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
BREAKING PT. II: SCOTUS revived the fight over congressional subpoenas for Trump's records, finding lower courts didn't properly consider separation of powers issues. This kicks it back for more proceedings — so House Dems don't get Trump's records for now

Keep in mind that just because Trump lost the grand jury subpoena case, this does not mean the public will get to see his tax returns — grand jury proceedings remain secret buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Everything you need to know about what the US Supreme Court did today re: subpoenas for Trump's personal financial docs: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

tldr: His tax returns are fair game for a state grand jury, but Congress will have to keep fighting in court if it wants his records.

The judge in Roger Stone's case is taking a close look at his request — which DOJ does not oppose — to delay his surrender date to the Bureau of Prisons. Here are the minute orders detailing what info Judge Amy Berman Jackson wants, incl. a new one she just entered
Taken together, Jackson wants info that gets at whether the way that DOJ and BOP have dealt with Roger Stone so far squares with how they've been handling the surrender and incarceration of federal defendants generally during the COVID-19 pandemic
And this. A thousand times this.

NOW: AG Barr says in a letter to Manhattan US Attorney Geoffrey Berman that Trump has now officially fired him, and that's that, rejecting any argument by Berman that a judicial appointment means he can't be removed.

Previously: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Barr to Berman: "Unfortunately, with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service."

Note that Barr's letter changes the succession plan from last night — deputy US atty Audrey Strauss will take over as acting US atty buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

This outcome is similar to what happened in the census citizenship question case — in both cases, Roberts wrote for the majority of the court that the Trump admin *could* in theory do what they were trying to do, but that officials had gone about it in an unlawful way
