After the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to Mazars USA, directing the firm to turn over Donald Trump’s financial records, the president and his lawyers didn’t just urge the firm to ignore the subpoena; they also sued the committee’s chairman in the hopes of blocking disclosure.
The House Intelligence and Financial Services committees have issued subpoenas to several banks as part of their investigations of alleged foreign influence on U.S. elections. At face value, it’s extraordinary to see a sitting president’s lawyers try to invalidate congressional subpoenas – an effort that’s likely to fail, though the litigation process may take a considerable amount of time, which is very likely the point.
The new lawsuit insists the subpoenas “have no legitimate or lawful purpose.” That’s a tough argument to take seriously. For one thing, Michael Cohen recently gave sworn testimony that alerted lawmakers to a series of alleged financial misdeeds he claims Trump personally committed.
MaddowBlog You sure have a short memory- not too long ago Trump was hiding the fact that he was really a Russian agent working for Putin --- before that he had hookers peeing on a bed- all unfounded allegations that You used to promote your show
MaddowBlog It isn't 'hidden' as they lie once again. This is harassment. Get over it.
MaddowBlog It's his money sad u attack it.
MaddowBlog Trump is part of the Executive branch of govt, Congress has over site of the Executive branch. Fighting our govt, Trump? It’s almost like you are a hostile, foreign enemy. You and your warlike stance !!!
MaddowBlog So innocent and transparent!
MaddowBlog Trump can’t sue the US Congress for following the rule of law? The simple fact he is serving the US with a law suit is implication of his crimes!

MaddowBlog Make it a law or shut up. ' As a rule, when Trump World acts as if it has something to hide, it's because Trump World has something to hide', irresponsible statement of caca poopoo.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog What if all the rich Americans, were rich. Cause their families have laundered money for the Russians for years. To hide drug and human trafficking.
MaddowBlog Man i hope a Democrat will act like this. I want to see what Republicans would do. Heads would be exploding and the rest would be triggered. Cause they know, they cant say anything. They support this crap.
MaddowBlog Criminals
MaddowBlog If you don't want to follow the laws and the rules the RESIGN TRUMP!
MaddowBlog Besides Trac fraud, evasion & and seeking a buyout fix; Trump needs to keep taxes hidden because even Hannity will see how rich he is - NOT, & afraid, reasonably, he will lose all his 'friends'.
MaddowBlog IndictTrump TrumpMustGo
MaddowBlog IndictTrump
MaddowBlog Yeah he filed all of this stuff with claims of Innocence. Oh that's kind of typical for Crime families right. My hope would be that all four of them Donald and his kids all end up in prison for a tax fraud bank fraud and money-laundering.
MaddowBlog BIRTHERS
MaddowBlog Do you really think it’s a good idea for banks to be forced to reveal clients’ finances to the US Congress?
MaddowBlog This from the most open president in American history ?
MaddowBlog No surprise, it’s been their Business MO for decades. Total crooks trying to wear down the opposition.
MaddowBlog and he will probably win because Republicans are scared of what he might do
MaddowBlog Read''his loans,unpaid''
MaddowBlog I love the way you framed this. Pres Trump is a citizen of the USA and entitled to the same protections we have. The 4th amend protects our privacy and his tax and bank record our private property. He has not committed a crime and this subpoena will be set aside by the courts.
MaddowBlog But he had nothing to hide!!! Remember! He said so!
MaddowBlog Join the Illuminati today for money and be rich forever. Benefits and rewards are. Cash rewards $560,000 and monthly payment $8000. Dm me on WhatsApp +1(806)305-9914. Don’t fail to see the light and money in 3 days.
MaddowBlog It only shows how ignorant Trump is only Trump can thinks that he can defy Congress in the SUBPOENA to the banks the records will be released and the American people is going to see who the crook is
MaddowBlog There must be something really, really awful for him to be hiding them like this!
MaddowBlog No one needs to see anyone's tax returns that's personal Democrats are just stuck on hate so much they can't see past the end of there nose
MaddowBlog It's called harassment. MadCow has nothing and is just hoping to find something. She is the most highly educated idiot that I know of.
MaddowBlog They wouldn't fight it off, if they had nothing to hide.... Congress needs to bring integrity back to the WH. Stop putting party above country. Make America First Again...
MaddowBlog More maddow FakeNews! Listen America, these BS FakeNews stories won't ever stop until you stop watching them. The Mueller report didn't find anything and they had Trumps tax records, so stop thie the BS! Trump2020
MaddowBlog The kids are saying, “daddy, you HAD to be President”, now we’re ALL F’d.
TMOANON5 MaddowBlog Good! The “investigators” have been on the tax payers payroll for decades, made millions and their finances are under seal. Screw them!
MaddowBlog Fine! Congress should subpoena them directly from Trump and his family and if they do not comply lock them up for contempt. President might be exempt but his family isn't. Trump still does not understand that he is not above the law and not above congressional oversight!
MaddowBlog He is running scared. I think everyone knows what will be revealed when his financial and tax records are finally available. Evidence of lies, cons, swindles, criminal acts and the like. AmericansForImpeachment DerangedDonald
MaddowBlog Why do you suppose realDonaldTrump refuses to release his tax info. If he's not trying to hide something, he'd be happy to allow congress and the public to see his financial information. There's a reason, it's clearly obvious he's trying to hide illegal information.
MaddowBlog Investigators? Party politics are now investigators?
MaddowBlog Never before in my life have I seen an attempt to take down the president for making America great
MaddowBlog If this runs the same course as Mueller, some people will be very upset.
MaddowBlog ”Numbers are very good, everyone knows it”
MaddowBlog realDonaldTrump This screams G U I L T Y
MaddowBlog Ah, yes. Remember how he PROMISED us that he would release his taxes as soon as the audit was completed. And yet people still support this con man who continually rips us off while obstructing the law. Congress, begin the impeachment.
MaddowBlog I wasn't interested in his bank account but now that he's trying to hide it, I'm intrigued.
MaddowBlog And rightfully so, this has nothing to do with Russia! It’s still about revenge period! The Democrats are behind in turning America into a Socialist country and need realDonaldTrump out of the way. Pulling all the dirty tricks and lying as much as they can.
MaddowBlog The Trumps have LOTS to hide!!!
MaddowBlog Why, would Republicans want to protect a guy who has so much to hide? Wouldn't they prefer a President that is not so devious and shady? The world's opinion of Americans are greedy people. Are we going to sell our principles down the river for a few bucks? We need transparency.
MaddowBlog realDonaldTrump and family need to stop. We, the people, demand transparency so put on your bigly boy pants, ask Putin for what's left of your balls back, and put your money where your mouth is...
MaddowBlog So much for Trump being the most transparent President ever.
MaddowBlog Well....he is entitled to privacy.
MaddowBlog If this was a weekly drama, it would be called: the scallywags
MaddowBlog If a man or woman FIGHTS so hard to hide his or hers finances, what do you think hes hiding...also using Government departments and our tax money to attack Americans....this president has no morals NONE..HE WOULD SELL HIS DAUGHTER FOR MONEY..OHHH HE HAS..HA

MaddowBlog Let this be a lesson to any company that lends to these buffoons. You’ll get tied up in subpoenas and lawsuits.
MaddowBlog I have nothing to hide, I've been the most transparent. 🤮
MaddowBlog So, either the America people will know what he’s trying to hide, or he’ll still be fighting to keep his finances hidden. No, that won’t be a big problem for Trump during the general election campaign!
MaddowBlog The guy is worse than Al Capone! What a crooked crook.
MaddowBlog Shoulda sold the company. Carter sold his peanut farm to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
MaddowBlog This administration without a doubt is the most corrupt in the history of our nation comparable to the gang of four.
