House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings requested a decade's worth of Trump's financial records from his accountant in order, he said, to answer questions recently raised by Trump's former longtime attorney, Michael Cohen.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., has requested a decade's worth of President Donald Trump's financial records from an accounting firm that prepared several years of financial statements for Trump, according to a letter Cummings sent on March 20, but which was only released on Wednesday.

Cummings' letter is addressed to Victor Wahba, CEO of Mazars USA, a New York-based accounting firm that prepared statements of financial condition for Trump covering 2011, 2012 and 2013, that were prepared to help the real estate mogul secure a loan. Michael Cohen, the president's former personal lawyer, turned those documents over to the committee this year ahead of his February 27 testimony.

The documents signed by Mazars, Cummings wrote to Wahba,"raise questions about the President's representations of his financial affairs on these forms and on other disclosures, particularly relating to the President's debts." Wahba was given until April 3 to furnish the requested documents to the committee. It was unclear Wednesday how Mazars plans to respond to Cummings request. A spokeswoman for the firm did not immediately reply to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon from CNBC.

Why don’t the fucking Republicans stand up for the president? The profanity is necessary to underscore the point that this man doesn’t have the backing even of his own party because the swamp runs deep and conclusively

Two Democrats who shuns jailef over false accusations of Trump collusion for WASTING OUR TAX DOLLARS! This was a CRIME.

I truly hope that the American people wake up to what is going on. The true power in Washington has pulled out all stops against Trump, and by doing so, has exposed themselves. They underestimated Trumps will to fight back.

Sorry. Not legitimate oversight request. Congress is a legislative body not an investigative tribunal like a grand jury. Try again next time.

Good luck

🖕🏻

Time to employ Democratic tactics and not release a thing until October 31 2020, and then just release a hand written note with the words, 'Go screw yourselves'

They're obviously not interested in doing any productive work, but could they at least let the man do his job?

Straight up abuse of power. Trunp should NOT comply.

Bite Me

Good luck. Nothing in the constitution or other laws require this as far as I recall. We are going on another witch hunt because the last one didn’t work.

Meanwhile the IRS only requires you keep your tax records for three years, some seven years.

He’ll give them what they deserve nothing

Hey realDonaldTrump...I thought you were exonerated?

You show yours first

Next they will want stool samples. No policy besides frees stuff(Taxes) & the Green New Deal they didn’t even vote for(93 Trillion). How do they expect to win with this crap? How about a working class policy and job creation? Americans deserve more than this sore loser $hit-show

For what

Because only corrupt career politicians can join the club...God forbid any more business people running for office!

This is just becoming pathetic

I hope he responds with 'Stick it up your wazoo!'
