>> reporter: in two landmark rulings, the supreme court said president trump cannot claim he's untouchable when faced with demands for his personal documents, but the ruling sent the cases back to lower courts ending any chance that the trump documents would become public before the election. in the first case, the court said a new york prosecutor can pursue a subpoena for trump taxes, investigating whether he broke state laws by reimbursing michael cohen for hush money paid to stormy daniels during the campaign by a vote of 7-2 with both trump appointees joining the majority opinion by chief justice john roberts, the court said, quote, not even the president is categorically above the common duty to produce evidence in a criminal proceeding. the president can go back to court and attack the subpoena as overly broad as anybody could, though that's a long shot. but even if vance does get trump's taxes, grand jury secrecy rules will prevent making them public in the other case, by the same 7-2 lineup, the court said the president is not beyond the reach of subpoenas from house

democrats either, but rejected their claims of virtually unlimited subpoena power the court said there has to be a balance between the two political branches to keep congress from abusing the process ans must serve a valid legislative purpose. >> the upshot is that house democrats probably are going to have to ask for less material, narrower financial records than they have so far. >> reporter: both decisions are defeats for president trump's claims he was legally off limits presidents have responded to subpoenas because the public has the right to evidence. newly released surveillance video shows what could be naya rivera's final moments when she pulled into the parking lot and made the way to the dock with her son. a crew of 100 people were involved in the search mission after she went missing in lake
