NEW: A divided Supreme Court wrestled with the legality of sweeping congressional subpoenas for Pres. Trump’s personal financial records, raising concerns about potential for 'presidential harassment.'
Leah Millis/Reuterson Tuesday wrestled with the legality of sweeping congressional subpoenas for President Trump’s personal financial records, raising concerns about potential for"presidential harassment" as Congress asserts power to obtain the information for help drafting ethics and anti-corruption laws.
The court also debated a New York grand jury subpoena for similar records sought by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. Justice Stephen Breyer noted the subpoenas were seeking"a lot of information and some of it's pretty vague," adding that"there may be burdens" imposed on the president by forcing his banks and accounting firm to produce them.
