it will not stop Deutsche Bank and Capital One from handing over ten years of President Trump’s financial information to House Democrats, dealing another legal blow to Trump as he seeks to keep the records out of lawmakers’ hands—and likely becoming the third such case to reach the Supreme Court.
In a 100-page decision, U.S. district court judges Debra Ann Livingston, Peter Hall and Jon O. Newman wrote that they would not block congressional subpoenas to obtain the records, despite Trump’s appeal to prevent the banks from complying. The case is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court; two additional cases seeking Trump’s financial records are already waiting for justices to take them up.The records are being sought by the House Financial Services and Oversight committees, which claim the information is needed as part of investigations into Russian money laundering and potential foreign influence over Trump.
In addition to Trump’s financial records, the committees are seeking information on the financial records of his children Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka, according to theThe judges’ decision also said that Trump should be given time to exclude any “sensitive documents” from the records to be handed over, but the committees would be allowed to object to those exclusions.
