2. President Trump lost another round in court trying to shield his tax returns from Congress. In a blow to the president, a DC Circuit Court of Appeals voted, 8-3, against hearing the case. The House Oversight and Reform Committee had subpoenaed eight years of the president's tax returns — a case that will likely be decided by the Supreme Court in the months ahead. Should SCOTUS rule against the president's appeal, House Democrats will have access to substantial amounts of information on Trump's personal financial transactions. -- NPR
