Cummings Moves To Subpoena Trump Accountant For Financial Info

Source: Talking Points Memo

House Oversight Committee Chair Elijah Cummings (D-MD) is planning to send a subpoena to Mazars USA accounting firm for detailed information on President Trump’s financial history.

Cummings wrote in an April 12 memo to members of his committee that he planned on giving members until Monday at 11 AM to provide views before issuing the subpoena.
...
The committee’s investigation focuses on allegations made by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen that Trump altered the value of his assets for different purposes, ranging from purported attempts to lessen his tax liability to a quixotic venture at buying the Buffalo Bills.

The investigation could provide Democrats with a separate way to gain access to key Trump financial information, as House Ways and Means grapples with the Treasury Department’s attempts to stall the committee’s request for Trump’s tax returns.

Not the tax returns themselves, but highly relevant info for investigating Trump financial fraud. It's the fraud that's the real problem, after all, not how much tax he pays (as long as he declares his income truthfully, ho-ho) or how much he's really worth.
