BREAKING: U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta rules in favor of House Democrats in their subpoena to Mazars for Trump’s financial records.

More TK
WOAH >> Judge Mehta has DENIED the Trump legal team’s request for a stay pending appeal.
This opinion from Judge Mehta is an absolutely brutal takedown of the Trump legal arguments.
“We will be filing a timely notice of appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals,” said Jay Sekulow, one of the president’s personal attorneys.

@dsamuelsohn Big: Mehta also says Congress can investigate presidential violations of the law WITHOUT opening a formal impeachment inquiry.

NEW: Trump’s attorneys object to Judge Mehta’s intention to rule from the bench after tomorrow’s hearing on the Mazars subpoena.

This is essentially Trump telegraphing that he knows this setup will bode poorly for him in court tomorrow, and that House Dems have the upper hand.
Trump is asking Mehta to limit the hearing to the motion for a preliminary injunction or cancel the hearing altogether and go to trial.
Exhibit J in the Trump filing is this story by @dsamuelsohn and me … politico.com/story/2019/05/…

NEWS: Barr will not show up to tomorrow’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, per an aide. The committee is expecting a letter shortly. Subpoena likely forthcoming.
Doug Collins confirms Barr won’t show up, accuses Nadler of “torpedoing” the hearing.
Nadler tells us Barr has just informed the committee he will not show up.

He also announces that DOJ won’t comply with the subpoena for the full Mueller report which was due today.
