It's a bad day for Donald Trump and his tax returns.

The United States Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the Manhattan district attorney can obtain President Donald Trump's tax records and that Congress can not have access to his financial records for now.

Court observers thought the justices might combine the two cases, they have not, ruling in favour of release in one case and sending the second, involving US Congressional requests, back to a lower court.

The court upheld a New York prosecutor’s demand for Trump’s tax returns as part of a criminal investigation that includes hush-money payments to women who claim they had affairs with Trump, but the ruling does not mean that the president's financial records will be immediately released.

Probable obituary:  Actress Naya Rivera, just 33, is presumed drowned after she went on a boat outing with her four-year-old son.

She is best known for her role on the television series, Glee, a series that has had a number of people die prematurely.

Lots of sexism in the comments, however, calling her a bad mother for daring to enjoy a day alone with her son.  Sexist because no FATHER would EVER be judged this way for doing the same thing.  These people would be expressing their condolences and saying at least he died doing what he loved.
