  STORY WE'RE FOLLOWING 
  TONIGHT -- THE SUPREME
  COURT IN A PAIR OF
  DECISIONS RULING
  PRESIDENT TRUMP 
  DOESN'T HAVE TO POWER 
  TO STOP A NEW YORK
  PROSECUTOR FROM SEEING
  HIS FINANCIAL RECORDS,
  BUT ALSO BLOCKING 
  HOUSE DEMOCRATS FROM
  GETTING A LOOK AT THEM
  FOR NOW.
  HERE'S PETE WILLIAMS
  >> Reporter: IN TWO 
  LANDMARK RULINGS, THE 
  SUPREME COURT SAID
  PRESIDENT TRUMP CANNOT
  CLAIM HE IS 
  UNTOUCHABLE WHEN FACED
  WITH DEMANDS FOR HIS
  PERSONAL DOCUMENTS
  BUT THE RULING SENT 
  THE CASES BACK TO 
  LOWER COURTS, ENDING
  ANY CHANCE THE TRUMP
  DOCUMENTS WOULD BECOME
  PUBLIC BEFORE THE 
  ELECTION
  IN THE FIRST CASE, THE
  COURT SAID A NEW YORK 
  PROSECUTOR CAN PURSUE 
  A SUBPOENA FOR TRUMP'S
  TAXES, INVESTIGATING
  WHETHER HE BROKE STATE
  LAWS BY REIMBURSING 
  FORMER AIDE MICHAEL 
  COHEN FOR HUSH MONEY
  PAID TO STORMY DANIELS
  DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
  BY A VOTE OF 7-2 WITH 
  BOTH TRUMP APPOINTEES 
  JOINING THE MAJORITY
  OPINION BY CHIEF
  JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS, 
  THE COURT SAID, QUOTE,
  NOT EVEN THE PRESIDENT
  IS CATEGORICALLY ABOVE
  THE COMMON DUTY TO
  PRODUCE EVIDENCE IN A 
  CRIMINAL PROCEEDING.
  THE PRESIDENT CAN GO
  BACK TO COURT AND 
  ATTACK THE SUBPOENA AS
  OVERLY BROAD, AS
  ANYBODY COULD, THOUGH 
  THAT'S A LONG SHOT
  BUT GRAND JURY SECRECY
  RULES PREVENT MAKING
  THEM PUBLIC.
  IN THE OTHER CASE, BY 
  THE SAME 7-2 LINEUP,
  THE COURT SAID THE
  PRESIDENT IS NOT
  BEYOND THE REACH OF 
  SUBPOENAS FROM HOUSE
  DEMOCRATS EITHER, BUT 
  REJECTED THEIR CLAIMS 
  OF VIRTUALLY UNLIMITED
  SUBPOENA POWER
  THE COURT SAID THERE
  HAS TO BE A BALANCE 
  BETWEEN THE TWO 
  POLITICAL BRANCHES TO 
  KEEP CONGRESS FROM
  ABUSING THE PROCESS 
  AND SAID CONGRESSIONAL
  SUBPOENAS MUST SERVE A
  VALID LEGISLATIVE 
  PURPOSE.
  >> THE UPSHOT IS THAT 
  HOUSE DEMOCRATS 
  PROBABLY ARE GOING TO 
  HAVE TO ASK FOR A LESS
  MA FEE
  MATERIAL NARROWE
  FINANCIAL RECORDS THAN
  THEY HAVE SO FAR. 
  >> Reporter: BOTH 
  DECISIONS ARE DEFEATS 
  FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 
  CLAIM THAT HE WAS

  THE RIGHT TO
  EVERYONE'S EVIDENCE.

  PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOW
