All three cases involve Trump's effort to prevent his longtime accounting firm and two banks from handing over his tax and business records to Democratic-led House committees and the Manhattan district attorney. The timing of the hearings means the high court's rulings will probably land in the summer in the midst of the 2020 presidential election campaign.
