Federal Judge Fast Tracks House Subpoena Case

During the Mueller investigation, the "red line" that sociopath and fraudster Donald "Not Exonerated" Trump established was his finances. He was, and is, clearly panicked over what investigators will find in a decade of shady deals and potential fraud. When House Oversight Committee chair Elijah Cummings (D-MD) subpoenaed the Trump Organizations financial records from the organization's accounting firm of Mazars USA LLP last month, Trump's lawyers were quick to file a lawsuit in an attempt to block the disclosure. The conventional wisdom is that they would drag out the case for months in the court system.

However, the presiding U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta has announced that he will fast-track the ruling on the subpoena and will hear oral arguments next Tuesday, seeing no need for further briefs from either side. At the heart of the case is Congress' role in overseeing the Executive Branch, and to determine the validity of testimony by Trump fixer Michael Cohen that Trump manipulated the value of his assets for financial gain. Judge Mehta will determine whether the House subpoena is "a valid exercise of legislative power."

Trump and his white collar crime family also filed lawsuits against Deutsche Bank and CapitalOne to prevent them from providing financial information subpoenaed by the House Committee on Finance and the Committee on Intelligence. The subpoenas were issued to gain knowledge of possible financial crimes, including money laundering, by the Trump Organization with Trump's involvement, and if Trump has been compromised financially by a foreign power.

Stay tuned, this won't be going away.
