Trump takes fight with Dems to the courts

Trump is leaning on a tried and tested personal strategy in his fight with Congress, moving the battle to the courts.

The courts have long been Trump's preferred battleground, with the president and his businesses involved in a slew of cases over the years. Now he's taking that approach to fight back against House Democrats.

The president and his private businesses filed a pair of recent lawsuits challenging congressional subpoenas seeking Trump's financial records, as well as those of this family.

Experts predict a messy legal battle involving all three branches of the government. And it's sure to be a drawn-out and complicated process, as the judges involved will likely seek to avoid politicizing the role of the courts in an inherently political fight.

The lawsuits are part of the president’s vow to fight any subpoenas issued by House Democrats in the course of their myriad investigations into Trump, his family and businesses.

I imagine he'll be as successful as he was with Trump University.

The question for Judges is how they want history to view them. The truth will come out and that will be recorded by history.
