Former President Donald Trump urged a judge to dismiss a subpoena from Congress for his financial records, calling it unconstitutional and unenforceable.

The former president on Monday asked a federal judge in Washington for summary judgment – a ruling in his favor without trial – in a House watch trial seeking an order to force Mazars USA, the accounting firm of Trump, to hand over the documents.

“Mazars’ subpoena remains a President’s request for information, based on President-specific justifications, subject to President-specific defenses,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in their summary judgment request. “The committee’s justifications for the Trump presidency collapsed once he ceased to be president, but separation of powers concerns with these kinds of subpoenas did not.

The wrestling for the subpoena reached the Supreme Court, which ruled that congressional subpoenas seeking the president’s personal information should not be “broader than reasonably necessary” and ordered lower courts to determine whether the House’s request met that standard.

The Mazars dispute is just one strand in a complex series of legal battles centered on Trump’s tax information, which he has been keen to keep under wraps throughout his presidency.

House Democrats separately seek Trump’s tax returns under a law that allows Congressional tax commissions to review any taxpayer’s returns. The Treasury Department under Trump refused to hand over the requested six years of Trump’s personal and business tax returns.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance obtained Trump’s tax records from Mazars as part of a criminal investigation into the former president’s business dealings. However, these documents will not be made public unless some are presented as evidence in a trial.

The case is Trump v. United States House of Representatives Oversight and Reform Committee, 19-cv-01136, US District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

Before he’s here, it’s on the Bloomberg terminal.
