A federal judge on Monday ruled in favor of House Democrats in their efforts to obtain President Donald Trump’s financial records, marking the first legal victory for Democrats as the Trump administration stonewalls their attempts at congressional oversight.
President Trump and the Trump Organization filed suit against the Democratic chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings, last month, seeking relief from his subpoena request for the president’s financial records.The president and his legal decried Democrats’ efforts to obtain Trump’s financial information as an “all-out political war,” in which “subpoenas are their weapon of choice.
Cummings served a subpoena to Mazars USA in April seeking ten years of the president's financial records in an effort to corroborate elements of Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen's testimony before the committee. Cohen claimed that Trump had defrauded insurance companies by misrepresenting the value of his assets.
“It shows that the courts understand the importance of oversight even if the president does not,” Schiff said.
It never needed to happen. They released their tax records. I guess they didn't feel that there was anything to hide.
It's a shame Mr T, why do they treat you this way, the Best Prez in decades, and this they do to you.I say shame on all of you, you obviously don't know a great guy, when you see one.
A lying Con Man says what ?
Only kids says re do....dotard
Well, to be fair, we’ve never had a crook like Trump for President.
nixon was dirty but you've redifined what dirty really is.
It never happened to another president because they released their taxes before the election.
Everybody needs a redo on a piece of s*** that's why you have tissue and flushing
Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!!
He may appeal and yet is SO unappealing...
Obama Judge. Democratic supporter.
Just throw them into the fireplace.. Hilary destroyed all hers when they asked for it. Just say I did a Hillary and all is forgiven....lol
GUILTY .....OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, DERELICTION OF DUTY, ABUSE OF POWER.......LOCK TRUMP UP!
This is a classic Article 1 v. Article 2 power struggle.
Trump is a lying crook
No, they're doing their job. Making sure your actions are not driven by conflicts of interest or questionable intent.
Others complied because they have nothing to hide...
No they are not Trying for a redo. You are a cheat and a liar. What are you afraid of trump? That you lied on your taxes?
You are not our president!You are our cancer
Precedent president, presiwent
This still isnt happening to any PRESIDENT! You have to be legitimate Winner to claim that title? YOUR NOT. you are only Mock POTUS. put in place by foreigners/cultGOP. mortal Cowardly fears that their pale skin isnt enough to keep power in real democracy & deal w/ real laws?
This never happened to America before. A pseudo president.
Meanwhile the “American Taliban” is getting released and realDonaldTrump is worried about himself. This is my surprised face;
And well ... what...
Its thier job to keep you in check. Its called checks and balance.
If he's a patriot then he should have no problem proving that he pays taxes to support this great nation
It never happened because other Presidents disclosed their records prior to being elected. What are you hiding? Lies and corruption are the hallmarks of this rotten administration, sadly.
You are so guilty and desperate. Every time you stop the investigations is just a sign of GUILT.realDonaldTrump Your just showing how YOU bought Russia into the election. You ONLY won due to the electoral. And of course with the help of Russia’s help. Your a two time loser.
No other President has ever been as corrupt as realDonaldTrump.
Maga
Oh-- but it was just fine and dandy when you harassed President Obama all of those years.
You do realize that it’s not just the Democrats that want to see what your hiding it’s most of America! Only people that doesn’t is your base an there’s not enough of them to protect your sorry criminal ass
Everyone agrees Russia meddled in our elections, even Republicans. What Trump and the rest of the Republicans are doing is worse than what Russia did. They are shredding our constitution and trying to stop congress from their job. Republicans are being lawless, refusing subpoenas
How do you spell schmuck?
Because no other president was hiding so much! They will get you it’s just a matter of time! Nixon comes to mind!
Democrats are evil. Where are there records?
That’s because Trump is a crook.
Sure is, if that’s what you call holding a criminal liable for their actions.
realDonaldTrump
Show me the money
They are trying to get to the truth.
President Trump, Do not release your taxes or any records until the Dems produce a living, breathing version of Justice Ginsberg. WhereIsRuth?
Financial Records have nothing to do with Trump being President because if that’s True then All the past Oresidents need to turn over all their financial Records for review. N if there is something fishy then investigate
He is right! Harassed bybthe Democrats in Congress!
I wanna see this guys birth certificate.
Trump is a liar. Prior presidents willingly gave their tax forms to Congress for approval. Only a guilty person who has committed a major crime would want all of his informations withheld
Sorry pal. Other presidents have had to go through inquiries. Stop being a baby. They are doing their job.
You'd know all about do overs as you never accept any outcome you're on the losing end of...
Corrupt deep state Dysfunctional Dishonest Divisive Dirty Dems Disgusting
Uh.... every other President was transparent
What are you hiding?
He is correct
Never needed to do it before
Other presidents are not a Con like you.
We never had such a lying corrupt president. 😱
No other president was such a blatant crook and worked with the Russians Saudis Israel NK! Individual 1 is a criminal
The judges ruling begins with a reference to this happening before. How is he so blatantly ignorant?
Trump is a lying piece of shit!!! He hasn't got a legal leg to stand on!! It is the Congress's duty to investigate a criminal and incompetent president, especially one installed by the Russians!!!
Why does ABC still kiss Trumps Ass?
🤬lier
No other President obstructed like you have.
This is ridiculous! Now he’s playing to be a victim!
Why are you hiding? You say your a billionaire so show it
Isn’t an appeal a kind of redo?
See the attitude....
Congress is trying to perform its Constitutional duty of oversight. Executive branch is stonewalling and obstructing on everything. Sounds totally innocent to me 🙄🙄
Good!
I thought you were the most transparent president in the history of the universe?
I believe all the house and senate should have their financials looked at.... how do they have a government job and turn into millionaires and billionaires......something is very fishy schumer pelosi
Because the Dems know that their gig is up ! They can’t escape this anymore because their Obama and Hillary colluded to LOSE and now caught weaponizing their DOJ and FBI !! Dems will lose in 2020 if they don’t create another “ fake hysteria” DEM DIMWITS
The word around the district is Nadler in yesterday’s dem caucus meeting made a move to replace Pelosi as speaker. The freshmen dem congressmen went a step further calling on her to resign completely.
It never happened to another President because the other Presidents released their Damn taxes when they ran for election and while in the WH!!!! Trump is a corrupt MF right out in the open.
Whine. Whine. Whine.
Why aren't thet collecting the records right now?
Justice is coming...wait and see ( obama, comey, crook hilary, Mueller , Dems and more)
To be fair he is correct this has never happened in any other president but again no other president has been so treasonous.
No other President has been this crooked
This question was settled by our SCOTUS in 1957 in the Watkins decision. The Dems. Will lose again and Judge Mehta — an Obama appointee — will be reversed. Congress is attempting to thwart the law. When politics enters a court room, it’s time to sack the judge.
It’s only a redo if it was done. Nothing ever was finished, only started motherfucker realDonaldTrump
No other POTUS has ever not provided his tax returns you fraud. What you hiding realDonaldTrump ?
realDonaldTrump you really think you are above the law uh?
Greatest President ever🇺🇸🍪
No other president was trying to give away or destroy America
Our Presidents finances are not anyones business.
Trump will win. He always does.
POTUS If you have nothing to hide, would don’t you just let them have it?
An HONEST President would have no problem about his taxes. Trump what do you have to hide
There is no requirement for potus to release his tax returns. Not the Constitution, not the tax code; NOTHING. The practice began as a political one when Nixon released his in 1952. Most candidates and presidents since then have done so, but not bc of any legal requirement.
You're right Donald. Our past presidents weren't professional con men who screwed people out of their money and didn't pay their taxes. This is why this is such a big deal right now. It's because of YOU!! conman conmantrump criminal
If you haven’t noticed. Nobody cares what ABC news vomits out anymore. 😳
There has never been a president who is so corrupt, hence so many investigations.
Cry baby cry you will pee less !😂
That’s because no other President has been as corrupt as this one is. Time to pull that phony wool off his head and see him as he truly is. A Con-Man and a FAKE.
other presidents showed their tax returns to the - If he has nothing to hide as he keeps saying... show us your tax returns- be transparent- which you are not.. be truthful-which you are not.. just what are you hiding Trump.. that you are involved with Russia and China
TheLargerIssue SingleParenting ChildNeglectMaltreatment MentalHealth SOLUTIONS Peace.
Judge? Really?
Um, not looking for a redo.. how about getting all the facts on the table? Oh they can’t get the facts, because 45 continues to block everything he can! When will this orange circus end?
Getting to truth is not asking for a redo.
All Presidents have submitted their tax returns!
So sad and disappointed! What is Trump hiding? 😡
What are u hiding?
It’s never happened to any other president because no other president has cozied up to the Russians before like you and your campaign henchmen! Talk about treason!
This judge is wrong and his decision is based on politics
Other than Nixon none have been as insane as you
Trump’s M. O. Appeal, appeal, stall, stall. WorstPresidentEver ImpeachmentNOW DerangedDonald
I would appeal it too
There has never been such a mentally sick deranged pretend president before.
Maybe because all other past Presidents presented their taxes openly without putting so much effort in hiding them instead? 🤐🤡
He needs to be called out on his lies. All other presidents produced their financials.
Mehta's financial records show that he was a $2,000 donor to the Obama/Biden campaign in 2012, HMMM
Never had a fraudster, criminal, crook and conman for President before.
Know why it never happened to another President? Cause no one else EVER has been as corrupt or abused the office to the extent you have. ImpeachmentHearingsNow
That’s because others disclose their info
Very easy to stop this charade , show your returns !!
Not to Nixon?
We should have demanded a redo of the 2016 election.
All the other Presidents were not afraid to show their taxes.
It hasn't happened to any other president because every other president except you have been transparent
The beauty of all this is it will all come back around on the next democrat or citizen that congress deems worthy of prying into.
no, -- they are seeking to do their job of 'Oversight' which is their JOB according to the Constitution.
Ha ha we hot you now don the con
No other president was a lying criminal like Trump.
There is that transparency thing again...
The verbal equivalent of flop sweat.
Others released their financial and tax records early on
No other president has been a businessman before I would like to see the taxes of all of our congress members who make the law Let’s start with Nancy Pelosi and work our way down.
Unbelievable how low they will go!
That’s because other Presidents provided their tax returns.
Never had a criminal in the WH before. So go figure. Plus BS.
Finally a win for the American people
Because other presudents provided their information
TrumpFinancialCrimes
Other Presidents disclose them. Also other Presidents don’t run their business from the Oval Office. Also other Presidents don’t put Americans down constantly. POTUS realDonaldTrump wostpotusever
Most corrupt President ever
🤔🤔 I wonder why all these bad things have never happened to other presidents . Hmmmmm I bet if we think about it long enough we could figure it out .
Let's have a look at those Records, that your trying so hard to hide! Sir!!
Never been done before because they cooperated. Period.
Because you are hiding your financial records
The other presidents showed their tax returns, moron.
I will hide my financial dealings for benefits of future corrupt presidents - it’s a cult ?
Does this dipshit think HRC becomes president if we find something shady in his tax returns? 😂
MY PRESIDENT!
That judge was appointed by obama so that tells me who is behind the fake russian collusion hoax...
No other president has lied, or was as crooked as you !!! 😏😏
.... AGREED...THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANY OTHER PRESIDENT.... ....YOU MR PRESIDENT HAPPENS TO BE THE...MOST 'CORRUPT'... ..'CROOKED' PRESIDENT EVER !!!! .... RICHARD NIXON WAS AN 'ANGEL'... COMPARED TO TRUMP !!!!
It most certainly has happened previously. Again, gas bag Trump, blustery without any facts, clueless and orange as ever.
Every other president since Nixon released their financial records......
The President of the United States who believes the court is corrupted by saying “...the Obama appointed judge”
Money Laundering is very serious crime. He's been caught before doing it and Deutsche bank is notorious for doing it and was fined $600mil in the past. Bigger than that they ignored red flags from their 5 managers about Kushners and DJT bank accounts. DJT knows this would end him
One forced to hats off for Mr Trump,v bold n all control on nerves n facing all controversies calmly as if nothing happened v nice, really no other President of America being teased like that
No, Trump, you’re just up against the wall and feeling scared.
Every other president released their tax returns ... so......
Why are the Democrats so desperate to find something to stop Trump with? Record low unemployment, record stock market, booming economy, why on Earth would any decent politician wanna stop that? 🤔 Oh yeah, crooked, corrupt Democrats are gonna go to GUANTANAMO SPYGATE FISA
Pitiful, ‘this never happened to any other President’. He’s right,for once, no other President has had such a total disregard for the rule of law. No other President has been unlawful and has tried to hide their unlawful conduct.
Is nothing to appeal you guilty as hell . Shameless why spend so much time obstructing and denying when the be facts are there people can see your game but it doesn't matter you are going to be IMPEACH and you think you should be reelected are you out of you mind
A recent Obama appointed judge? Bro you have been the only appointer of judges recently. Obama hasn't been able to appoint anyone for over 2 years.
Mr. Trump salary on his tax return is a pardonable thing if there indeed violation of his tax returns, as we all know Mr. Trump donates his salary and above all maga through economic boom, lowest recordof imployment etc etc and wat were waiting for is these trade war on china
trump's tax returns n financial records-issue is dead election-issue. we the voters had decided. after 2 yrs of dems doing nothing for us we the ppl but abuse their power, we the ppl have had enough. trump, barr, repubs must fight dems' abuse all the time, all the way to sc.
he is such a Krunt.
This is just simple harassment now.
OBVIOUSLY TRUMP DOESN'T KNOW HOW GUILTY HE IS ACTING-ALL THIS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE WILL GET HIM IMPEACHED-ITS HIS & THE GOP'S FAULT-YOU CAN'T THUMBS YOUR NOSE AT ALL OUR LAWS & CONSTITUTION TO COVER UP POSSIBLE CRIMES IMPEACHTrump OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
fatorangefraud
Other presidents were transparent and handed over their tax returns...
What is he hiding?
Stupid!
Your the only President besides Nixon who won’t show his tax return we all know Nixon was a crook just like we know you are
“It’s what we used to call in kindergarten, a do-over or a re-do.”
This is so sad. Venezuela was destroyed by chavez's leftist meddling into the independent powers. I hope the US doesn't follow suit with this buffoon's right wing meddling

to be fair, he's right: no other president has been so blatantly corrupt and unfit for the office. Even Dubya had a little decorum.
Other presidents supplied their tax information
No never ... we never had a Con ... a crook ... a liar as big as this one .... never !
POTUS we never had any other president that was as crooked as you!
Read: This never happened to any other president because never a president was as corrupt as realDonaldTrump DrainTheSwamp
Just show em already n get over it
Absolutely take it to the SCOTUS. This is this biggest miss use of justice in history all for ZERO reason except dislike of a man 100% personally.Nothing to do with the great job he is doing. This is sour grapes for THE POS HRC LOSING. WE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN. ITS OUR CALL SO STFU
It never happened to any other president because we have never had a president that is so low morally and ethically as trump. I have more respect for Richard Nixon than I will ever have for trump.
That's because every other president releases their taxes voluntarily.
Lol a redo? He’s still on the 2016 elections? Did he miss the 2018 midterms embarrassment?
It has Donald .....do a search for Nixon !
Fun fact: Merrick Garland is the Chief Justice of the Federal Appeals Court this case is going. Betting realDonaldTrump is hating senatemajldr for blocking Justice Garland’s SCOTUS hearing and confirmation.
Republicans better do the same in future
Enjoy the Time you still have, 2020 is all over
