Trump urges appeals court to block subpoena for his accounting records

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday asked an appeals court to overturn a ruling that his accounting firm must turn over his financial records from before he was president to the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives Oversight Committee.

 

Lawyers for Trump said in a court filing that a May 20 decision by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ordering Mazars LLP to comply with the subpoena was flawed and should be reversed.

 

Mehta's ruling was the first time a federal court waded into the tussle about how far Congress can go in probing Trump and his business affairs, and marked an important victory for House Democrats.

 

Trump is refusing to cooperate with a series of investigations on issues ranging from his tax returns to his Washington hotel and his children’s security clearances.

 

Trump’s lawsuit, filed on April 22, argued that the committee's subpoena exceeded constitutional limits on the power of Congress to investigate.

Sooo looks like Donald’s nervous wonder why are we running a laundromat foe ruples lol

[Lungstib]

Donald and the Courts, a never ending saga of decisions and appeals. Surely no previous President has ever been so at odds with the countries judicial system. Lawyers must love him for the creation of so much work. 

[legend49]

Keep hearing nothing to hide, no collusion blah blah. Then why block these actions ?

[neeray]

Sooner or later (hopefully sooner) it will all come out in the wash. The more he blocks, the more suspicious the electorate become.

 

Keep blocking Donald. You're playing right into the hands of your opponents.

[Paul Henry]

NO! NO! NO! Donald has nothing to hide he is above board and HONEST. Just misunderstood. Its all FAKE NEWS made up by the DEMs and the lying MEDIA

[Hogs]

SAME OLD WHINING Trump haters just can't give it up even after 2 years 40 Million spent 500 witness's interviewed and the conclusion no collusion 

so onto the next his taxes (pathetic) 

First his taxes prior to being President has NOTHING to do with his presidency 

2nd his taxes will be so complicated that it will be easy for haters to pick them apart but like you all saying he went bankrupt 9 times which is BS

but you keep trying to take him down and he will keep on winning for the American people.

 I really have to shake my head at Congress and Democrats in the house for over 150 days and accomplished NOTHING 

DISGRACEFUL

He wants this stopped at all costs. Why? This is a president who insists his administration is transparent. That would be amusing, if it were not so tragic. The revelation of his financial records may be damaging for many reasons.

 

1. The may reveal the nature and extent of the bank fraud he likely committed with Deutsche Bank, when he grossly over inflated the value of his properties, to get the loans. That is a felony that could land him in a federal prison for the rest of his life. Exactly where he belongs.

2. They may reveal that his net worth is huuuugely less than he claims. My guess is that he is worth about $1.5 billion. We know about the 680 million in debt he is currently carrying. So, that puts his net worth at considerably under a billion dollars. Donald may only be a centimillionaire, after all. 

3. This would reveal that he is among the least charitable. and stingiest of the wealthy Americans in the history of the nation. That is just who the man is.

4. This would possibly reveal that he has not paid income taxes in a generation. For a man who labels himself a patriot, that one might be hard to swallow, for some of his most ardent devotees.

 

There is nothing good that can come out of the release of either his financial statements or his tax returns. Both would show him as the phony he truly is, and would reveal ugly behavior.

Hahahaha must be killing you to watch him Win time and time again.

Get your tissues ready because you will have another term to go yet.

Nobody that counts cares about his taxes he does not do his taxes (way too complicated for the layperson) he pays Tax accountants to do his taxes and they will follow the law to ensure he pays the LEAST AMOUNT POSSIBLE according to the law.

I bet you were gagging for the Mueller report to come out so you could finally justify your hate and accusations LOL must have been a huge let down when Mueller said NO COLLUSION 

Taxes will be another nothing burger.
The only people screaming out for his taxes are the democratic losers, everyone else is applauding the INCREDIBLE job he is doing for the economy and the American people.

Lock him up! Have you even considered the possibility that he will not win in 2020? No president with an approval rating of 39% at this point in his presidency has ever been re-elected. His approval rating is bound to drop further, due to his tendency to shoot himself in the foot daily.

As always seems to be the case Liberals are not educated on the subject and seem to be way behind the times 

Accroding to the most recent poll Trump is at a 49% approval rating as of MAY 2019 

Nobody thought he was going to win even on election night except Trump supporters who knew everything we were being fed was FAKE 

You could say the poll below is fake but what is funny is even the Liberal press has to admit the poll results are true.

Trump will win 2020 EASILY with the economy so strong and all his success's it is a given especially if he is up against Biden LOL (is that the best the dems have ? REALLY HAHA

Interesting the precedent being set for congressional behavior. Expect any democrat POTUS to get the same treatment going forward if Republicans control congress.

 

I doubt any of them don't have skeletons in the cupboard. Certainly the dubious Clinton's did. But loose, and it seems no one's interested anymore.

Nice piece of cherry picking. Rasmussen has a long history of Republican bias and getting it wrong. It's findings are at odds with virtually every other major pollster.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/

In the last midterms it had republicans up by 1 point in the popular vote. They lost by 8.

It certainly is lucky for Hillary Clinton that the Republicans were so restrained while she was Secretary of State. A mere 7 Benghazi investigations none of which turned up anything. Suffering from selective amnesia much?

Positively delusional. Rasmussen is always the highest numbers. Does that tell you anything. Care to look at any others? Any interest in the "truth"? And while it is true that he was not expected to win last time around, that was before most of his supporters found out he was an unhinged non genius, who could not negotiate his way out of a paper bag. 

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- After rising to 46% in April, President Donald Trump's job approval rating skidded in May, first dipping to 42% and now to 40%. His latest rating, from a May 15-30 Gallup poll, is similar to the 39% he received in March and matches his average since taking office. Trump's approval rating fell by an average of four percentage points between April and May, from 45% to 41%, based on combined data for the two polls conducted each month. The drop was fairly even across most demographic subgroups but showed more variation by party. While Trump's monthly approval ratings among Republicans and Democrats were virtually unchanged in May compared with April, his approval fell six points among independents.

It's a bit early to be betting the farm on a Trump win. With this many crocodiles nipping at his ass, sooner or later, he'll bleed.

The Mueller report did not find there was no collusion. In fact the opposite is true, he did find many instances of collusion. He also found many instances of obstruction of justice.

 

there are people in jail and many charged. Hardly nothing.

 

its interesting that you think it ok that russian interference in the elections is not an issue worth exploring.

 

republicans of years gone by would be mortified of that reasoning.

I can't (or can't be bothered to) provide a link but I've heard that FAKE hair do POTUS state on television himself more than a few times that "his admin is transparent". In fact, I've heard him say something to the effect that it was the most transparent presidency in recent history.

 

And then I ROTFF laughing for 10 minutes.
