The hearing is set for Tuesday in a lawsuit over House Democrats’ request for years of the president’s financial statements.

By Spencer S. Hsu Spencer S. Hsu Investigative reporter Email Bio Follow May 9 at 6:33 PM A federal judge will fast-track a decision on President Trump’s bid to quash a House subpoena for financial records from his accounting firm, saying he will decide the full case, not just whether to temporarily block the subpoena while the case proceeds, after a hearing Tuesday.

Mehta, a 2004 Obama appointee, gave all sides until Monday to file any further comments ahead of oral arguments previously set for 11 a.m. Tuesday in Washington.The announcement means that any appeal of a decision in the case could reach an appeals court by the summer. Other House panels have requested Trump’s banking records and tax returns, while his company also faces inquiries from New York state regulators and is defending itself against plaintiffs in two lawsuits alleging that his company violates the Constitution by doing business with foreign governments.

At what point does this become baseless harassment of the President, keeping him from doing what We The People elected him to do? So sick and tired of these pathetic Democrat tantrums. The Democrats picked a pathetic and weak candidate in 2016. Trump beat her, get over it!

OMG! looks...

Good

Fahrenthold Is it a Trump picked judge

Apparently not interested in slow walking at least that case. Others may follow, thwarting DT's strategy.

They should also investigate Biden’s ties to the KKK, after all he is running for the White House I do not want a President with ties to such organization of hatred.
