Supreme Court blocks House subpoena to Trump’s accountants pending full appeal

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 26, 2019 18 Comments

The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked a subpoena issued by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform to Trump's accounting firm, pending a full appeal.

Trump sues to protect personal financial records from Democrat House subpoenas

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 22, 2019 27 Comments

Democrats, who now control the House of Representatives, are using their committee powers to wage an all out war on Donald Trump regarding his personal finances, including businesses. This use of government power to go after all things Trump is not new. Various state Attorney Generals, particularly Tish James in New York, have signaled a desire and intent to subject Trump's personal and business finances to extreme scrutiny looking for a crime.
