Supreme Court halts subpoena to Deutsche Bank for Trump records thehill.com/regulation/cou…
The Supreme Court on Friday granted President Trump's emergency request to temporarily block a congressional subpoena for his financial records from Deutsche Bank.
The court's order came just hours after the president's legal team asked for a temporary stay of an appellate court decision ordering Deutsche Bank to comply with subpoenas from the House Financial Services and Intel Committees for a broad range of Trump financial documents.
JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG, who oversees the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, issued an administrative stay, in effect until Dec. 13, while the court deliberates whether to grant a longer stay and to give Trump lawyers time to prepare a formal appeal.
The fight over the Deutsche Bank and Capital One subpoenas is the third case involving Trump's financial records to reach the Supreme Court.
The justices granted a stay of another subpoena from the House Oversight Committee for records from Trump's accounting firm Mazars. The court has not said whether it will take the case.
The justices are also considering whether to hear Trump's appeal over a subpoena from the Manhattan district attorney for his tax returns from Mazars.
