A bank has reportedly handed over a series of financial records from intelligence firm Fusion GPS after the firm pushed to prevent the documents from being given to Congress.
The release of the documents was in response to a subpoena from the House Intelligence Committee as part of its probe into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election and ties to the Trump campaign.
A congressional lawyer said Friday that TD Bank "produced all remaining responsive documents" to the House Intelligence Committee under the terms of a confidential settlement, CNN reported.
The handover of the 70 documents comes after a federal judge on Thursday dismissed the firm's protests to the documents being turned over to Congress.
Fusion GPS has argued that records turned over to Congress are likely to leak, potentially exposing their clients' identities, violating the firm's First Amendment rights and damaging their business.
The firm said on Thursday it would appeal the judge's ruling.
Fusion GPS had contracted former British intelligence agent Christopher Steel for research that later became part of a dossier of unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia.
Trump and other Republicans have since slammed the dossier as politically motivated, claims that the intelligence firm has dismissed.
Fusion GPS officials have hit back at House Republicans, saying they do not believe the dossier led to the federal probe into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling.
I guess he just doesn’t have the gonads
Banks do all kinds of shady things. Wait and see if anything comes of this.
No we won’t.
Poetic justice would be finding out CNN paid for it.
THAT would be delicious.

I’m surprised they have knowledge of the U.S. constitution. It certainly doesn’t come into play in their work practices.
Can you imagine the Gotti family saying that??
YESSSSSSSS!
WINNING!
“Those records are probably quite washed over by now.”
Their is no altering bank records, trust me. You can alter a copy of bank records, but not the bank records themselves.
Post 10- Ditto.
Non-compliance and foot dragging is the MO at Fusion.
This should also reveal who the Republican was who first paid that company to do opposition research on Trump.
Love that!
That makes a lot of sense.
More to the point, no bank official wants the heat that would occur if they were caught lying about having turned over everything.
