Democrats inch closer to ultimate prize: Trump’s financial records.
Since launching his bid for the presidency in June of 2015, Donald Trump has gone to exceptional lengths to keep his personal and business financial records out of the public eye.
In the past three days, two federal judges have ruled in favor of congressional Democrats in their efforts to obtain documents from President Trump’s former financial institutions, and state lawmakers in New York passed legislation that would give Congress the power to access Trump’s state returns. On Monday, a federal judge in Washington ruled in favor of the House Oversight Committee after President Trump and the Trump Organization filed suit against Democratic chairman, Rep. Elijah Cummings, seeking relief from his subpoena request for the president’s financial records.
The president’s lawyers have already filed an appeal in the Washington, DC, case, and are expected to do the same in New York.
