U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta sided with House Democrats on Monday by ordering Trump's longtime accounting firm Mazars USA LLP to turn over the president's financial records.
A federal judge on Monday ordered Donald Trump’s accounting firm Mazars USA LLP to hand over eight years of the president’s financial records before he took office to the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
While the judge said that there are “limits on Congress’s investigative authority,” he noted that “those limits do not substantially constrain Congress” as long as they investigate “on a subject matter on which ‘legislation could be had.’” “We believe strongly in the ethical and professional rules and regulations that govern our industry, our work and our client interactions,” the spokesperson added. “As a matter of firm policy and professional rules we do not comment on the work we conduct for our clients.”
The president, a real estate developer and television host before he took office in 2017, has repeatedly refused calls to release his tax documents, a move at odds with the practice that all former presidents, with the exception of Gerald Ford, have abided by since Richard Nixon. Ford released a summary of his tax documents.
