Trump blasts Democrats for probes, says White House is 'fighting all the subpoenas'

President Donald Trump on Wednesday excoriated Democrats for probing his finances and his administration and declared, "We're fighting all the subpoenas."

"The subpoenas are ridiculous. I have been the most transparent president and administration in the history of our country by far," Trump said, referring to recent moves by House Democrats. Trump spoke to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House before departing for an event on the opioid crisis.

The Democratic chairmen of powerful congressional oversight committees have ramped up their investigations into Trump's businesses and his administration in the wake of the release of a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report. They've issued subpoenas for the president's finances, information about White House security clearances and the 2020 census and for the full, unredacted Mueller report.

"I say it's enough," Trump said Wednesday. "Get back to infrastructure, get to back to cutting taxes, get back to lowering prescription drug prices."

and the separation of powers.

If the executive and the judicial branches line up to neuter the legislative branch, well there goes that silly constitution
