A federal judge suggests he is skeptical of President Donald Trump’s efforts to block Congress from obtaining some of his financial records.
House Democrats have said court battles are inevitable as they have made dozens of requests for documents and witnesses that the White House and others in the administration have rebuffed. Democrats also have issued subpoenas for six years of Trump’s tax documents and given Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig a deadline of this coming Friday to deliver them.
Mehta, who was nominated to his position by President Barack Obama, suggested during the hearing that Congress has wide latitude to investigate. He told Trump lawyer William Consovoy that there isn’t a case since 1880 where the Supreme Court or an appeals court found that Congress overstepped its boundaries in issuing a subpoena.
jeffAndersonUSN Ok judge. Rule “promptly”. Get some order back into this lawless government.
Please and thank you.
tax returns/financial records-issue is dead election-issue. we the ppl had decided. after 2 yrs, we the ppl r suffering bc dems have done nothing for us but abuse power to thwart our will. we have had enough of dems' abuse. trump should fight dems' abuse all the way to sc.
Skeptical? Come on, man. The CONS are causing this and they should be removed as soon as possible. Crooked Lying Don and CONS destroyed a diplomatic agreement because of racism against President Obama and now causing war for oil. I hope ISREAL is on the forefront.
Hope he makes a good choice! This clown needs to be held accountable! He’s a fraud and we should see his tax’s and make sure he’s not using us as a piggy bank!
What happened to Russia, Russia, Russia. Idiots.
Skeptical is being nice. In reality the judge is thinking, 'is this orange mutha f*cker seriously wasting my time over some 100 year old law!?' *for some reason, I imagine the judge is Samuel Jackson*
What about the constitution do you not understand Nitwits
Duh
SKEPTICAL JUDGES MY ASS. TRUMP HAS NO LEGAL STANDING, NO EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE, NO AUTHORITY TO CHALLENGE CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT. Period. JUDGES...DO YOUR DUTU AND HONOR YOUR OATH.
FAKE NEWS SUNDAY-SATURDAY.
Hey, Judge....if Congress wanted to see YOUR taxes, it would be handed over. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! Do the right thing please.
Blah blah blah!
By 'suggested he is skeptical' I hope the article means'engaged in a minute-long cruel laugh that was reminiscent of Bender the Bending Robot.'
Make all transparent. We should not have to labor under suspicion our president is a crook, or beholden to any foreign entity.

Democrat Obama judge. We'll see what the Supreme Court says.
Has Trump ever NOT been involved in a legal case? PresidentPinocchio
what nationality is Judge Mehta? That will be Trump's excuse if he loses in court
So much for corruptor-in-Chiefs plans for delay.
