Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that the “public has a right to know” when asked about former President Donald Trump’s tax returns, which are now in the hands of the House Ways and Means Committee.

The Supreme Court declined a request from Donald Trump to block the release of his tax returns to a House committee seeking them, the latest legal setback the former president has endured from a court he helped to shape.

Trump asked the high court to intervene in his long-running legal battle with the House Ways and Means Committee over access to six years of his tax returns. Since then, Trump has announced he will run for president again in 2024, and Republicans flipped enough seats to take control of the House of Representatives in early January.

The court denied Trump’s request without comment, which is common on its emergency docket. There were no noted dissents. A spokeswoman for the former president didn’t respond to a request seeking comment, though the former president criticized the court on social media for doing what is “politically correct” rather than what is “best.”
