As anger and frustration builds in sudan the Prime Minister has asked the government to resign and with their sacred month fuji off limits we will meet the japanese religious order thats made him a replica so they can keep watch. So the developing news out of the United States this is they those Supreme Court rulings on president Donald Trumps financial records things that he has fought hard to keep private however the judges have decided his tax returns can be made available at least to new york prosecutors but not yet to congress a Manhattan District Attorney wants the records as part of a criminal investigation into hush money payments made to Women Donald Trump allegedly had affairs with the ruling concerned committees in the house of representatives theyve been investigating potential foreign influence in russian Money Laundering the judge said that one needs to go back down to a lower court to be decided its theres been plenty of reaction from President Trump so far this was the 1st of his many tweets where he talked about the Supreme Court as we said throwing that back down to the lower courts but saying its all a political prosecution and he said he won them all of a witch hunt and others but now has to keep fighting in politically corrupt new york its not fair to this president or discipline astray should. Weve also heard from u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi she says that the path the Supreme Court has laid out she believes is achievable in the lower courts carefully in 3 mm court ruling related to the president financial records is not good news for President Trump the court has reaffirmed the congresss authority to conduct oversight on behalf of the American People as it asks for further information from congress congresss constitutional responsibility to uncover the truth to ship a cli related to the president russia connection that he is hiding that congress will continue to conduct oversight for the people polled in the separation of powers that is the genius of our constitution we will continue to press our case. Statements aplenty today as well another one from Deutsche Bank on todays Supreme Court ruling towards a banker from from so one of his a long time lenders it says doj a bank has demonstrated full respect for the us Legal Process and remain neutral throughout these proceedings we will of course abide by a final decision by the courts as are all the statements is the reaction which will go through with the same White House Correspondent kimberly how could in a moment 1st she have pretends the outside the Supreme Court she had the decision itself the numbers the majority take us through them and the significance of who voted and why they voted like that. It wasnt even close or 72. 00 majority in both cases which includes in the majority justices gorsuch and cavanaugh who Donald Trumps nominees for the Supreme Court in the 1st case than the new york case the justices throwing out this idea from Donald Trumps lawyers that the request for Financial Information from Donald Trumps accountants was simply harassment and would set a precedent that would mean that all future president s would be open to harassment from politically motivated district attorneys around the country by flooding the white house with subpoenas lets see record had no time for that basically saying theres plenty of legal precedent with president s cooperating with Legal Investigations so they didnt really have a have a leg to stand on that now then goes back to so that this information then will eventually be released to the new York District attorneys grand jury but these proceedings will be in private the grand jury is a body that decides whether someone should be indicted for these these are held these proceedings are held behind closed doors because if someone isnt indicted you know that information to be Public Knowledge necessary so these deliberations will continue in private unless theres a leak the public wont be able to see the requisite will eventually be handed over to to the to that grand jury the 2nd case that its true as nancy pelosi suggested that the Supreme Court has upheld congresss right to subpoena documents from the executive which actually you know may have been a question to some of the justices and that was i think the guards told us but. The problem is what theyre saying is this Company Unlimited power to subpoena anything you want you have to show that there is legislative intent that. By getting these documents it will contribute in some way to the formation of law and congress did say that we didnt know these documents may pertain to Money Laundering to do oversight over taxation Financial RegulationCongressional Campaign finance reform but what the justice is saying is yeah but you didnt spell that out clearly enough so go back to the lower courts and spell that out so this does continue for donald trump it is bad news says that Donald Trumps lawyers arguments werent accepted but if the old terms it all shows motivation may have been just delay all of this until after the next election and that hes clearly succeeded because it doesnt seem like well get any of trumps financial records in the open before november chambre tanzi thank you for that now kimberly how kit at the white house kimberly how is donald trump taking the news can he view it is sort of well 11 loss one sort of 11. The initial reaction was one of sheer frustration publicly vented on twitter the president fuming accusing this of being politically motivated that he has been subjected to unprecedented political persecution and pointing to the Obama Administration saying that they were never subjected to the same level of scrutiny that his administration has hes essentially said that he won the mole or witch hunt so his political opponents just went on to Something Else he alleges and says now i have to keep fighting in a politically correct new york its not fair to this presidency or administration courts in the past have given broad deference but not me so initially the president appeared to be pretty frustrated almost egg knowledge in that this was a bit of a blow but since that weve had a statement from his attorney jay sekulow where they are now categorizing both decisions as a win i think the only when they can get is the ability to delay this as she has her chance he alluded to in a state of the president s lawyer saying were pleased with the Supreme Court that is temporarily blocked congress and new york prosecutors from obtaining financial records will now proceed to raise cause to to tional and legal issues in the courts in other words whats happened here is the Supreme Courts kicked this to a lower court to find 2 but ultimately it was pretty clear that this grand jury was going to get the information it was looking for but its clear that the legal tactic from the u. S. President is to try and delay this by any means possible they spell that out theyre going to raise new legal arguments new constitutional arguments having said that right now it appears that the Manhattan District Attorney feels optimistic theyre going to get what theyre looking for but it may not be the timeline they want they say our investigation delayed for a year will resume guided by the grand jurys obligation to follow the law and facts wherever they will lead. It in the she have said the president s banking records in the hands of georgia bank someone who are identity that loaned him money when he was doing Real Estate Development in new york and they say they will comply with this ruling as will his accountant so it appears the tactic is just stretch out the timeline of course donald trump wants to extend this beyond the november election well have to wait and see whether or not hes successful really how it gets at the white house thank you lets look at another state been which weve had out today this is from the new York DistrictAttorneys Office saying this is a tremendous victory for our nation system of justice and its founding principle that no one not even a president is above the law our investigation which was delayed for almost a year by this lawsuit will resume guided as always by the grand jurys solemn obligation to follow the law and the facts wherever they may leads us now we heard from clear finkelstein a professor of law and philosophy at the university of pennsylvania also the director of faculty at the center for ethics and the rule of law there she thinks this is undoubtedly a blow for donald trump. Whats most important about todays decision is that the Supreme Court has reaffirmed made very clear that the president is not of the law he is the object to ordinary Court Procedures mike nixon and clinton before him he has to allow responses to subpoenas in this case it would have been quite shocking had it gone the other way because the subpoena was issued not to the president directly but to mass our as his accountants and they were willing to comply with the subpoena of the president was trying to use his president ial privilege to block mass ours from complying and here the Supreme Court has reaffirmed what it said in the case of nixon in clinton namely the president does not have that scope of privilege she is not able to say that he will block others from flying he couldnt block it himself and master as will have to turn over tax returns and financial records to the Manhattan District Attorney for use in a grand jury and. Just to top things off for donald trump i want to show you these live pictures from new york at the moment they are painting a black lives a massive banner on the street 5th avenue right outside trump tower had previously talked about this denigrating this luxury avenue in antagonizing new yorks finest its gone ahead though the mayor has said so in this of course follows a similar banner which we saw painted on a street near the white house in washington d.

About the reports so how true is it that were getting bounties from the russians to kill american soldiers. This particular matter was fabricated by Afghan Intelligence based on confessions obtained by force and violence from prisoners to say that they have received money in benefits from russia to fight the americans this is totally baseless the intelligence of the Kabul Administration has tortured the prisoners to get these confessions and to create a story and a report to the world while everything is comprehensively baseless no one can prove that the taliban got bounties and military assistance is from moscow but it is not just a plan intended into that it is also coming from u. S. Intelligence sources at a time when the United States wants to leave a blemish than even the nanny state is negotiating with you why would they lie. In the moment of the end of the column and we cant talk on their behalf and they can answer this question but when it comes to the intelligence of the Kabul Administration i can say that they want the americans and the Foreign Forces to stay in afghanistan and this is the reason behind their lies about the american withdrawal that will pave the way for russians to come back to the country that interview forms this latest edition of talk to aljazeera which you can see saturday 0430 g.
