Judge Mehta says Trump echoes the protests of President Buchanan.

The House General Counsel has just submitted DC Judge Mehta's memorandum opinion as supplemental authority in the Trump v. Deutsche Bank case pending in SDNY. That didn't take long.

It just occurred to me that Trump's D team lawyers in Mazars case didn't even move for a
protective order and now the case is over with judgment entered. That means that his tax returns and financials, when produced under the subpoena, can be made public IMO. It gives the House some bargaining power now. Trump should agree to the turn over
