A powerful Democrat-led House committee is pushing a federal judge to order Donald Trump to comply with a subpoena for his financial records, arguing he no longer has a viable claim to withhold materials now that he is out of office, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The move from the House oversight committee, led by the chair Carolyn Maloney, marks the latest salvo from Democrats in their years-long pursuit to secure Trump’s tax records and related documents, in a case testing the scope and limits of Congress’s oversight authority.
If successful, the committee would be a step closer to obtaining Trump’s tax records and potentially making them public, the source said.
“While the committee’s need for the subpoenaed information has not changed, one key fact has: plaintiff Donald J Trump is no longer the president,” Douglas Letter, the general counsel for congressional Democrats, wrote in a motion filed last week in the US district court for the District of Columbia.
“Because he is no longer the incumbent, the constitutional separation-of-powers principles that were the foundation of the supreme court’s recent decision are significantly diminished,” Letter wrote.
Prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office in New York obtained the former president’s tax records in March, just hours after the supreme court denied his last-ditch attempt to keep them concealed.

Imagine that a new push to change the news cycle to Donald Trump with the economy now going back into the tank under Sleepy Joe who could have seen this coming
I would think that he is I. A stronger position as a private citizen.
Answer them with as much fight... we will release hunter’s laptop and more.... don’t lay there and do nothing and hope the right judge gets the cases the dems go after.

The Republicans could care less about Slow Joe’s Foreign Cash machine.
They cared enough to protect him for four years.
Where is the Resistance movement with Biden?
The Republicans start out by saying Joe is a good man.
That’s a damn lie.

Thanks for posting the 4th amendment language.
I have wondered about the Democrats zeal to get Trump’s taxes and other records. And I have wondered if they have any probable cause for their desire to subpoena all these records.
If Democrats are really going on a fishing expedition, they should be called out on it. If there is really some probable cause of crimes involving Trump, which would be a legitimate reason to subpoena records, I sure haven’t heard any such reason from Democrats.
“I would think that he is I. A stronger position as a private citizen. “
He is the political equivalent of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
With almost no effort at all, he is driving the Dems to even deeper levels of madness. It’s embarassing on a worldwide scale.
They have been on a fishing expedition for nearly six years. Spending tens of millions of dollars with the full force and resources of the US Federal government machine.
And they got nothing.
Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.

Affidavit in support of search warrant application:
Orange Man Bad.
He am guilty of something. We just knows it.
How can we know what he’s guilty of without we ransack his office.
For that we need a search warrant.
Give us one. We want it.
Sincerely,
Joe Friday.
