Trump sues Deutsche Bank, Capital One to block House subpoenas

"No grounds exist to establish any purpose other than a political one.”

"SNIP.....

The lawsuit, seeking to invalidate subpoenas issued by the House Financial Services and Intelligence Committees, is the latest escalation in Trump’s fight against mounting House investigations into his administration, presidential campaign and business empire. In recent days, Trump has vowed to fight all congressional subpoenas, accusing Democrats of trying to sully his presidency altogether.

In a joint statement, House Financial Services Chair Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said it was a "meritless lawsuit" that was not designed to succeed — but was "only designed to put off meaningful accountability as long as possible.“

"As a private businessman, Trump routinely used his well-known litigiousness and the threat of lawsuits to intimidate others, but he will find that Congress will not be deterred from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities," they said.

Democrats have said they are seeking Trump financial records as part of investigations into potential foreign influence on the U.S. political process and the abuse of the U.S. financial system for illicit purposes.

4. They are following the money, which is the way to get to the heart of trump crimes.

He lives and breathes money, his greed is unlike any other we’ve seen. He literally sold out America. I believe evidence exists that Russia paid trump and attacked the election to get him in a position to take America down. It’s a Russian wet dream. Our government has essentially been dismantled.

5. Where Is The Money Coming From To Pay For All The Lawyers Trump Is Using To Sue?.....

Is this his money or is it taxpayer money?

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. Remember he has several campaign funds

.
And a long history of using various funds as a personal piggy bank.

I am confident his pals will help out. Maybe one of them know where the inauguration $$$ disappeared to.

14. I can almost guarantee

that it's from the Trump2020 campaign fund. Certainly not his own money.

12. I'm not following this

You can't "file a lawsuit" against the recipient of a Congressional subpoena to prevent them from complying with it. He has no legal standing to bring such action and the two banks still have to comply with the order as it is an affirmative defense against any lawsuit. My head is just spinning here trying to figure out why anyone would do anything than roll their eyes at this and comply with the subpoena. A court can't rule against Capital One or Duetsche Bank for complying. They would have to file suit to not comply. I mean, what.the.fuck.

[tanyev]

13. No grounds exist for not complying except protecting Trump's corrupt treasonous hide.

[NewJeffCT]

15. It certainly seems that way

Fusion GPS had to turn over their financial records in the face of a GOP subpoena
