U.S. court backs request by House Democrats to obtain President Trump's financial records

WASHINGTON - In a blow to President Donald Trump’s efforts to block oversight of his business dealings, a U.S. court on Friday backed a House of Representatives request for the Republican’s financial records including tax documents.

Tatel added: “We conclude that in issuing the challenged subpoena, the Committee was engaged in a ‘legitimate legislative investigation.’” Judge Neomi Rao, who was appointed by Trump to the D.C. appeals court, wrote a dissenting opinion. U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings, the Democratic chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said the ruling was a “fundamental and resounding victory for Congressional oversight, our Constitutional system of checks and balances, and the rule of law.”

While campaigning for the presidency in 2016, Trump broke with a decades-old convention of candidates releasing their tax returns publicly. A judge ruled against Trump in May, saying the documents might assist Congress in passing laws and performing other core functions.
