House Democrats to subpoena accounting firm for Trump's financial records
A top House investigative committee plans to subpoena President Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA, for Trump’s financial statements on Monday, according to a memo to committee members obtained by The Washington Post.
House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah E. Cummings on Friday notified panel members of his intention to subpoena the company after it refused to hand over Trump’s financial documents, citing laws and rules that require compulsory measures from the panel.
Cummings (D-Md.) had told reporters earlier this month that the company requested what he called a “friendly subpoena,” before they would comply with the request.
The move comes less than a week after the Treasury Department missed a deadline to hand over Trump’s tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee. Lawmakers expect the Trump administration to take their fight over the president’s IRS documents to the courts — so they have sought other avenues to learn about Trump’s business practices in the meantime.
