Congressional investigators fighting to access former President Donald Trump’s financial records are planning for a lengthy battle that stretches deep into 2021.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump addresses the Conservative Political Action Conference on February 28, 2021 in Orlando, Florida. | Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesCongressional investigators fighting to access former President Donald Trump’s financial records are planning for a lengthy battle that stretches deep into 2021, according to a proposed legal schedule unveiled by House counsel Doug Letter on Tuesday.

Letter’s filing is the first window into the House’s plans for a lengthy slog in a battle that has already stretched two years in federal courts. Democrats say they need access to Trump’s records — which they suspect will show improper foreign ties and potential conflicts of interest — in order to craft financial disclosure legislation to restrain future administrations.

It’s the latest chapter for the Mazars case, which has already wound its way to the Supreme Court. The justices ruled in July that lower courts had failed to appropriately scrutinize the implications of a congressional subpoena for the president’s personal papers. Though the House had won the case at the district and appellate level, the Supreme Court effectively reset the clock on lawmakers’ efforts.
