Trump suffers wave of legal setbacks one week after announcing 2024 bid

Former President Donald Trump suffered a stunning string of court setbacks this week, a clear indication that his legal woes won't disappear after launching his 2024 bid for the White House.
Some had previously speculated that Trump timed his campaign announcement in a bid to shield himself from said legal issues, with hopes that prosecutors and investigators would loosen their investigations to avoid being accused of cracking down on Trump for political reasons.
All in a matter of hours, Tuesday delivered Trump losses in his ongoing battle against the House Ways and Means Committee regarding his taxes, a prolonged abuse and defamation lawsuit raised by author E. Jean Carroll, the New York attorney general's fraud investigation into the Trump Organization, and the Department of Justice's investigation into Trump's handling of White House materials after leaving office.
Two of those matters, the Carroll suits and Ways and Means tax probe, date back to 2019 and received a jolt of life Tuesday afternoon. First, the Supreme Court denied Trump's final request to block the House committee from accessing his tax returns, prompting the former president to lash out on his social media platform, Truth Social.
"Why would anybody be surprised that the Supreme Court has ruled against me, they always do!” Trump wrote in a post. "It is unprecedented to be handing over Tax Returns, & it creates terrible precedent for future Presidents. Has Joe Biden paid taxes on all of the money he made illegally from Hunter & beyond.”
Furthermore, Carroll's attorneys announced their intent to file a new battery and defamation civil suit against Trump following the implementation of New York's new adult survivors law.

Poor DJT.
That lousy SCOTUS.

With the establishment Dims and RINO's in charge,this should come as a shock to no one. They see Trump as a threat to their lifestyles and positions,and are going after him.

IRC sec. 6103. It’s hardly unprecedented.

Having spent years and millions trying to find dirt on Trump, they are pulling out the stops to find anything, something, to take him down.
This is no surprise.

Yes, a unanimous ruling. Let that sink in. Pretty rare these days.

And the Marxist IRC needs to be thrown onto the ash heap of history ASAP.
We will never again be a truly FREE people for so long as we continue to abide the Marxist income tax and the IRS.

I'd love to do that, but how do we convince the public at large to be on board?

:yowsa: That does seem to be the problem, and with our current public "education" system in place it isn't likely to change but I'll keep trying regardless.

And he keeps handing them reasons to do so.
He's his own worst enemy and I am through with it.

Yeah, it's long been clear that Trump is pretty much an idiot who's good at making real estate and mafia deals, and selling himself while using other people's money.

No, this is no surprise, they are going to do whatever is necessary by whatever means they need to use to keep him from running in '24.

@libertybele
Why not? They have the whole DNC,and most of the RNC backing them.
Not to mention offshore/off the books contributions.
The political establishment has a system in place that has been working perfectly to keep them in power and in cash for decades now,and they do NOT want to see the boat rocked.

They're reaching the point where the only way to stop Trump will be to end his freedom or his life.

On the bright side, the SCOTUS decision opens the door for a GOP House to request Biden's tax returns to evaluate the need for campaign finance disclosure law reform.
Biden, Inc., is a suspect R.I.C.O. enterprise.

@DefiantMassRINO
The RNC can demand that all they want,but the truth is it is the last thing EITHER the RNC OR the DNC want to see happen because "strikes like that hit too close to "home".
Oh,I have no doubt that if enough people push for it,there will be a "show" put on to please the goobers,but it will be about as real as Biden's pro-American accomplishments and political career.
