Supreme Court casts some doubt on whether it should settle Trump’s fight with Congress over his finances

The Supreme Court called for additional briefing Monday on whether the court was authorized to settle a dispute about congressional subpoenas for President Trump’s financial records.

The case is set to be argued May 12, and briefing was completed weeks ago. So the order from the court caught lawyers by surprise and raised at least the possibility that the justices were looking for a way to avoid deciding the case’s merits.
