(Bloomberg) -- Former President Donald Trump must hand over financial records to a Congressional committee investigating his potential conflicts of interests. A Washington appeals court ruled Friday that the House Oversight Committee can obtain among other things documents related to payments made by government officials to Trump hotels, accounting records and information related to a hotel in the Old Post Office building that Trump leased from the US federal government. While upholding the subpoena, the panel narrowed the time period and types of documents that the committee had sought. “We conclude that each party is half right,” Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan wrote. The court supported Trump’s claim that the separation-of-powers scrutiny prescribed by the Supreme Court applies to former presidents. But it also agreed with the committee that the subpoena is valid because it serves a legislative purpose. Carolyn Maloney, chairwoman of the Oversight Committee, said it was disappointing the court narrowed the subpoena in some respects but the committee was pleased the panel rejected Trump’s “spurious” arguments that Congress couldn’t investigate his financial misconduct. “Former President Donald Trump displayed an unprecedented disregard for federal ethics and financial transparency,” Maloney said in a statement. “Today’s decision affirmed Congress’s broad constitutional authority to conduct investigations, even when those investigations involve wrongdoing by the president.” The ruling follows a long legal battle between the committee and the former president. In 2019, the committee subpoenaed Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA, for the financial records. He sued to block the subpoena.

Losing: Trump WH Lawyer Backs Down At Last Minute In Jan. 6 Probe 625,462 views Jul 9, 2022 Donald Trump and his allies are on edge as his former White House counsel Pat Cipollone testifies before the Jan. 6 committee. Cipollone reportedly told former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson that “we’re going to get charged with every crime imaginable” for Trump’s Jan. 6 plot. Though Trump allies have been slamming this as “hearsay,” MSNBC’s Ari Melber explains that some of the committee’s evidence has been limited to hearsay is because “of the very Trump appointees who refuse to explain themselves under oath.”
