The lawsuit alleges the Democratic Party has “declared all-out political war” against the president and is using subpoenas as “their weapon of choice.”
President Donald Trump has sued House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings to block a subpoena for his financial records—including his highly sought-after tax returns.
Last week, Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, subpoenaed the president’s accounting firm, Mazars USA, for eight years of Trump’s financial records, from 2011 to 2018, including independent auditor reports, annual statements and other documents. “With this subpoena, the Oversight Committee is instead assuming the powers of the Department of Justice, investigating allegations of illegal conduct by private individuals outside of government,” the court filing reads. “Its goal is to expose Plaintiffs’ private financial information for the sake of exposure, with the hope that it will turn up something that Democrats can use as a political tool against the President now and in the 2020 election.
Cohen testified to lawmakers, under penalty of perjury, that the president often misrepresented his wealth to avoid paying taxes and mislead insurance companies.
