The hearing is set for Tuesday in a lawsuit over House Democrats’ request for years of the president’s financial statements.
By Spencer S. Hsu Spencer S. Hsu Investigative reporter Email Bio Follow May 9 at 6:33 PM A federal judge will fast-track a decision on President Trump’s bid to quash a House subpoena for financial records from his accounting firm, saying he will decide the full case, not just whether to temporarily block the subpoena while the case proceeds, after a hearing Tuesday.
Mehta, a 2004 Obama appointee, gave all sides until Monday to file any further comments ahead of oral arguments previously set for 11 a.m. Tuesday in Washington.The announcement means that any appeal of a decision in the case could reach an appeals court by the summer. Other House panels have requested Trump’s banking records and tax returns, while his company also faces inquiries from New York state regulators and is defending itself against plaintiffs in two lawsuits alleging that his company violates the Constitution by doing business with foreign governments.
