Explainer: What's at stake in Supreme Court fight over Trump financial records

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday considers three blockbuster cases concerning efforts by the Democratic-led House of Representatives and a grand jury working with a prosecutor in New York City to obtain copies of President Donald Trump’s financial records.

Here is a look at what is at stake in the cases.
