Democrats and Trump do battle in court over his financial records

WASHINGTON - A federal judge on Tuesday said financial records from U.S. President Donald Trump’s long-time accounting firm would be part of a “proper subject of investigation” by Congress, appearing to side with Democratic lawmakers seeking more oversight of the president.

A lawyer for the president, William Consovoy, asserted on Tuesday that the Democrats’ subpoena fell outside of Congress’ legislative function and that the House was claiming “unbridled” power to investigate Trump. “We have an obviously legitimate purpose,” Letter said. “Congress obviously serves an extremely important informative function for the American people.”

“It really does open the door, it seems to me, to the accusation, valid or not, that this really is sort of an effort — if not to harass the president — then to get into his private affairs for political purposes,” Mehta said.The House Oversight Committee claims sweeping investigative power and says it needs Trump’s financial records to examine whether he has conflicts of interest or broke the law by not disentangling himself from his business holdings as previous presidents did.

Trump’s lawyers argued that Congress is on a quest to “turn up something that Democrats can use as a political tool against the president now and in the 2020 election.”
