The cases are set to be among the first in the court's 230-year history to be heard via teleconference, a precaution taken during the coronavirus pandemic.
For the first time since he became president, Donald Trump's personal financial dealings will be the subject of scrutiny for the Supreme Court.
Again, the president requested that the Supreme Court hear the case after a lower court ruled against him. In a petition to the High Court last November, Trump's legal team argued that the"threat that state criminal process poses to a president cannot be overstated." The congressional subpoena from the House Oversight and Reform Committee demanded eight years of Trump's financial records from the accounting firm Mazars USA. The probe by the Intelligence and Financial Services committees sought more documents from two of Trump's major lenders, Deutsche Bank and Capital One.While all three cases raise separate legal questions, Trump's team has largely argued that he is immune to investigation and indictment as a sitting president.
The Manhattan district attorney's case is a bit more complex. The Department of Justice has held that presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution in federal cases during their term in office. Wright said he could"see the court extending that to state criminal law cases."
