President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in a case that could lead to the release of his financial records to House Democrats.

Trump’s lawyers said in a Dec. 4 petition to the court, filed ahead of a Dec. 5 deadline, that if the nation’s highest court allows a lower court ruling to stand, it would set a dangerous precedent for future presidents.
