There are other important legal battles over presidential powers still being waged.
Three cases will be argued before the Supreme Court on March 31 focusing on Trump’s contention that a House committee and a New York City prosecutor are powerless to enforce subpoenas to obtain his financial records.
Another important legal fight was put on hold by a federal judge awaiting the McGahn case’s outcome. In that case, the House Ways and Means Committee sued the Treasury Department to force it to hand over years of Trump’s individual and business federal tax returns.
The 2nd quote shows two other cases that will probably end the same way as the McGahn case did, for very similar reasons.
