Judge rules Democrats can have only limited access to former President Trump's financial records.

U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta said the House Oversight and Reform Committee can proceed with a subpoena to get documents from Mazars, the accounting firm, to examine the nature of Trump's federal lease for a hotel in Washington. The committee can also get financial records to look at whether Trump's income on overseas properties violated the Constitution's ban on foreign emoluments.

that a president's records were beyond the reach of Congress. But that ruling last year said lower courts must be respectful of separation of powers issues in demanding documents from a president. Mehta said a congressional subpoena for the records of a former president does not need to meet as high a legal standard as would apply to someone still in office. The current demand for documents"seeks only President Trump's personal records, so it imposes no burden on the sitting president."

The House Oversight Committee originally acted after Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, testified that"Mr. Trump inflated his total assets when it served his purposes and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes."

WHY

That's some bullshit 🤬

I started with $5,500 and in 5days I was credited with $25,500 excluding my $5,500 that's over 8x my startup capital. Imagine how much you will make with a higher startup capital. Thank you sandyprech

Go over this judges head. The Congress is Constitutionally obligated to check on what the execitive branch is doing. As is the judicial branch of gov't Three equal branches of government all able to check on each other.

자! 또 간단히 말씀드리죠. 트럼프 중국통 오바마 중동통 현정상 휴먼통 그리 병이 진단되니 약처방 그곳과 관련.이리 쉽게 접근하니 미국 너무 쉽더라.한국 나와 정상 휴먼통 흐르니 맑아 새로이 한국 잘린 허리 낫듯이 송통되고 미국의 주둔군 전쟁 억제하니 누가 싸우나 보니 그가 분란요소.

Most of trump's fundraising is for his court cases and personal endeavours...his poor followers just being played by this praudsters.

A trump appointed judge a rigged system what else is new in this Corey court system

His taxes should of been disclosed before he was Putin White House.

The records he said he was gonna disclose back in 2016 and never did? Maybe the courts should just make him keep his word.

Innocent people don’t have anything to hide……. Trump 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

ArrestDonaldTrump

BS

They have NO NEED FOR HIS TAX RECORDS

特狼扑的确是特殊总统,离任仍特殊。倘1.6政变成功,法官会更加律己律人。

Who's judge is this? Let's find another judge to make a different decision.

Has the judge been paid off? Everybody should have access to this crooks tax returns.

This is bull sh-t ! All financial records need to be seen ....

Now they are just judge swapping, this needs to go to The Supreme!

Judge to Democrats: You can have a little oversight into Trump, as a treat

Democrats not the Department of justice.

Ridiculous.....

Well, government is supposed to have things like this limited in scope.

Give it up, losers

Repeal all judge's rulings. All requests should be granted to look at all documents over Trump's taxes and financials.

Obsessed much

Trump's been dodging for decades.

So how is that going to be a valid investigation when it’s limited?

So the judge is on the take too. Greeeeaaaaaaat.

A MASTER at gaming the system - wins again. TrumpCrimeSyndicate

Lol

Fear not. The review of documents they do get will create a rational cause to subpoena other records. We'll get them.

How Did The Judge Become A Judge?🙄 From Genocidal Invasion / Illegal System / Government Etc. = NOT A JUDGE!🧐🧐 In Their Own 'So Called' LAWS They Are Guilty & Are Criminals Acting Like Leadership. So Don't Be Angry With Me For Your Crimes.🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐

'Democrats'? Don't you mean House Committee members..? Quit making this seem more partisan than it really is!

Judge Mehta, Why can the Dems ' only have limited access to DJT'S financial records?' What is he so very desperate to hide?

chuips

And the Slime-Ball slips through the net again.

Just fucking leak them to the press and get it over with!

It's always something with this guy. Criminal charges always seems to elude him. It's almost as if he has fixed it so it will always be that way. 🤔🤔🤨🤨

So, Trump wins again, huh?

Federal judge rules against several Indiana abortion lawsA federal judge ruled Tuesday that several of Indiana’s laws restricting abortion are unconstitutional, including the state’s ban on telemedicine consultations between doctors and women seeking abortions. The judge’s ruling also upheld other state abortion limits that were challenged in a broad lawsuit filed by Virginia-based Whole Woman’s Health Alliance in 2018 as it fought the denial of a license to open an abortion clinic in South Bend. U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Evans Barker issued a permanent injunction against the telemedicine ban, along with state laws requiring in-person examinations by a doctor before medication abortions and the prohibition on second-trimester abortions outside hospitals or surgery centers.
