House Oversight Chairman Elijah E. Cummings on Friday notified panel members of his intention after the company refused to hand over Trump’s financial documents.
By Rachael Bade Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio Follow April 12 at 4:24 PM A top House investigative committee plans to subpoena President Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA, for Trump’s financial statements on Monday, according to a letter to lawmakers obtained by The Washington Post.
Cummings had told reporters earlier this month that the company requested what he called a “friendly subpoena,” before they would comply with the request. The Oversight committee on March 20 asked the company for copies of “statements of financial condition” and audits prepared for Trump and several of his companies, including the one that owns the Trump International Hotel in downtown Washington. The panel also requested supporting documents used to produce the reports and communications between the firm and Trump.
“As I am sure you can appreciate, Mazars cannot voluntarily turn over the documents sought in the request,” wrote Jerry D. Bernstein, a lawyer representing the firm said at the time.
