The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday agreed to expedite President Trump’s appeal of an order allowing a pair of banks to hand over financial records to House Democrats.

The court ruled in favor of Trump and House Democrats’ joint request to fast-track the case, setting deadlines for briefings in the case that stretch through the middle of July.

And the court requested that an argument in the case be scheduled “for the earliest possible sitting week” after all the court filings are made. The final filing is due by July 18.

Trump is appealing New York federal Judge Edgardo Ramos’s ruling last week to not grant a preliminary injunction over the congressional subpoenas for the president’s financial records from Deutsche Bank and Capital One.
