Trump might have won a short-term political battle. But Congress’ subpoena power is clearer than it ever was
—an accounting firm and two banks, not to the White House or Trump himself. And there wereinvolved—that is, nothing sought by the subpoenas is relevant to the actual work of the Executive Branch. Trump’s breathtaking plea for absolute presidential immunity, if accepted, would have fractured the Constitution’s system of separated powers itself, giving the motherlode of power to the presidency.
Third, the majority did not erect an especially high bar for congressional subpoenas seeking information about presidents’ finances. Roberts noted that, “[q]uoting, the President asserts that the House must establish a ‘demonstrated, specific need’ for the financial information, just as the Watergate special prosecutor was required to do in order to obtain the tapes.” Had Trump won on this point, it would have been a blow to Congress.
