Holding
Article II and the Supremacy Clause do not categorically preclude, nor require a heightened standard for, the issuance of a state criminal grand-jury subpoena to a sitting President for his private records; the President is not entitled to absolute immunity, but retains the ability to raise subpoena-specific objections available to any citizen and to challenge a subpoena that would impede his Article II functions or is issued to harass. No citizen, not even the President, is categorically above the common duty to produce evidence.
It is the judgment of this Court that Opinion No. 2026-0788 is hereby entered into the record, in accordance with the America First Constitutional Standard. The score stands. The reasoning is published. The record is public.
