A federal judge allowed the House to move ahead with subpoenas seeking years of Donald Trump’s financial records from Deutsche Bank and Capital One
Ramos was unpersuaded by the Trump legal team’s arguments in favor of blocking the subpoenas, saying that any alleged “ulterior motives” of the committees did not impede their investigative powers and that the propriety of those motives was not a question left to the courts.
“Any delay in proceeding may result in … irreparable harm to the committees,” he said, given the turnover in Congress because of elections. Letter argued that the committees’ investigations were urgent to ensure the integrity of the financial system and to find out whether the government at its highest levels could be subject to foreign influence.
Democrats have questioned why the bank was willing to lend to Trump when other banks weren’t and whether it served as a conduit for Russian influence over the president.
