Has nothing to do with Donald Trump's potential charges. The case was not about State and Federal taxes. These are separate taxes owed to separate taxing authorities. If Trump has committed NY State "financial crimes", they have nothing to do with his federal taxes. This case never had any bearing on State vs Federal tax law. The SCOTUS can't even rule regarding State taxes because they are State taxes. Again, there is not and never was an issue with someone being charged for State tax evasion and Federal tax evasion.
