A U.S. federal appeals court ruled against Trump's appeal earlier last week, upholding an earlier ruling that affirmed Congress' investigative authority to seek the president's financial records.

In a separate case, Trump's legal team also asked the Supreme Court last week to block a subpoena issued by the New York County District Attorney demanding his accounting firm to turn over eight years of his tax returns to Manhattan prosecutors.

The Supreme Court, which now has five conservatives and four liberals, could decide to consider the two cases together. It's unclear whether the Supreme Court will take up Trump's appeal and there is no deadline for the court to act, according to local media reports.
