“Once they state something even related to a congressional purpose, the court, I think, will allow this to go through,” said Andrew Napolitano, a former judge.

Fox News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano does not believe Donald Trump’s legal efforts to block a subpoena from House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings for the president’s financial records will be successful in court.

“Congress will have to answer this complaint, establish a purpose,” said the former judge. “It doesn’t have to be a purpose directly out of the Constitution. It could be something tangentially related to what Congress does and that will probably suffice. “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,” it continued.

As they should. It's their job to stop criminals.

Ummm the Court can't deny the request. Its in the Constitution that they can!

Trump's not defying the Democrats, Or battling Congress. He isn't defying the Constitution. He's far worse. 'It may be closest to the truth to think of Trump as a cosmic Jeffrey Dahmer. When he is through raping America, he will kill her, and eat her.'

Meanwhile

Also, despite the audit. 🙄

POLITICO Playbook PM: Late-night texts from RudyRudy Giuliani texted our reporter dsamuelsohn at 2:54 a.m. on the size of the president's 'countereport,' which will drop when the special counsel's findings come out Thursday: 'Now at 34 or 35. The more concise the better. 400 pages is a novel.' She’s “one of the most trusted people inside Trump Tower.” She’s “heard everything and taken good notes.” She was a “go-to person for a lot of projects - I often heard her name, like ‘Meredith will take care of it.’” Yet no reporter even laid eyes on her. Does he suggest flying water buckets again? Trump said he hopes that their football team can still play there this fall
