The Trump administration's Justice Department has again taken President Donald Trump's side in a fight between him — as a private citizen — and the US House of Representatives over subpoenas for his personal financial records
The Justice Department argues the two banks shouldn't have to hand over the subpoenaed information and accuses lawmakers of not taking the correct steps to seek the documents.This is the first time the Justice Department has spoken up in this subpoena fight. Its foray into the case comes as House Democrats' attempts heat up to get Trump's financial records and to consider formal impeachment proceedings of the President.
The subpoenas, which the House financial services and intelligence committees sent to Deutsche Bank and Capital One this spring, seek years of financial information about Trump, his children and his companies. The committees say they need the information as they investigate banking, money laundering and foreign influence in the US.
