Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have urged the U.S. Supreme Court to deny a stay preventing Congress from enforcing subpoenas seeking financial records on President Donald Trump and his business from two banks, or to expedite the case if the justices do issue a stay.
House general counsel Douglas Letter said in Wednesday's filing that subpoenas issued by two Democratic-controlled committees to Deutsche Bank and Capital One are for "legitimate legislative purposes" and should be enforced without further delay.
The subpoenas targeted non-privileged records related to Trump, his businesses and family members and will aid the House's efforts to root out foreign influence in the 2020 presidential elections, Letter wrote.
