Trump team sues Deutsche Bank and Capital One to keep them from turning over financial records to Congress

(CNN)President Donald Trump, his children; Donald, Jr., Eric and Ivanka; and his business are suing two banks to block them from turning over financial records to congressional committees that have issued subpoenas for the information.

The legal action, filed in New York's Southern District, is against Deutsche Bank, one of Trump's lenders, and Capital One. Both banks "have long provided business and personal banking services to Plaintiffs," Trump's attorneys said.

"The subpoenas were issued to harass President Donald J. Trump, to rummage through every aspect of his personal finances, his businesses, and the private information of the President and his family, and to ferret about for any material that might be used to cause him political damage. No grounds exist to establish any purpose other than a political one," Trump's attorneys wrote in the complaint filed late Monday.

The lawsuit is the latest salvo by the President in efforts to hold off Democratic scrutiny of his business and personal finances, and is similar in legal strategy to actions brought last week against an accounting firm and a congressional chairman.

15. Deutsche Bank

I'm betting their attorneys know more about our Constitution and the powers of Congressional oversight than tRump does.

I just keep thinking, this man has some monumental secrets to hide. He's in meltdown mode.

21. Zactly. "Deutsche Bank faces action over $20bn Russian money-laundering scheme"

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/apr/17/deutsche-bank-faces-action-over-20bn-russian-money-laundering-scheme

TRump is mentioned in the article dated 17 April 2019. Both he and Deutsche Bank are more crooked than barrel of fish hooks.

This is clearly just more obstruction on tRump's part.

[Bluepinky]

19. Get the financial records of the entire Trump clan.

Get their tax returns, loan applications, bank statements, insurance forms and compare them. Then lock them all up, every one of them, for tax evasion and insurance fraud. That’s how it’s done. The Donald might need to be impeached first, but that’s okay, a minor speed bump on the road to justice.

20. This is how a criminal responds to a subpoena. nt
