President Trump asked the Supreme Court to put on hold House subpoenas requesting his financial documents from two banks in the latest case concerning Trump's personal records to reach the high court
Trump's personal lawyers called the subpoenas"extraordinarily broad" and said they raise"profound separation-of-powers concerns."In the emergency petition, the lawyers argue that the subpoenas"target financial institutions that the President, his businesses, and his family used long before his election to office.
Trump's lawyers are seeking to block the subpoenas from going forward, to give the President time to formally ask the justices to take up his appeal.A federal appeals court allowed the subpoenas for most of the documents to go forward earlier in the week, but agreed to put the ruling on a seven-day hold so that Trump could ask the Supreme Court to step in.
