The long-running case began in April 2019, when the House Oversight and Reform Committee first requested a trove of records from Trump’s then-accounting firm, Mazars USA. The committee cited testimony from Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, that he said raised questions about the president’s representation of his financial affairs when it came to seeking loans and paying taxes. Under the deal, Trump agreed to end his legal challenges to the subpoena and Mazars USA agreed to provide responsive documents to the committee as soon as possible, said Democratic Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who heads the committee. “After numerous court victories, I am pleased that my committee has reached an agreement to obtain key financial documents that former President Trump fought for years to keep from Congress,” Maloney said. Trump is facing investigations on several fronts, including the storage of top-secret government information discovered at his Mar-a-Lago home and whether the former president’s team criminally obstructed the investigation. In Georgia, prosecutors are investigating whether he and allies illegally tried to interfere in the 2020 presidential election. Meanwhile, congressional committees are continuing investigations that began when he was president. WATCHES | Classified documents part of DOJ court filing against Trump:
Documents at Trump home likely hidden from investigators, DOJ says
The US Department of Justice says classified documents were “likely withheld and removed” by investigators probing former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The details are part of a new court filing.
The settlement follows a federal appeals court ruling
The settlement for Mazars follows a July ruling by a federal appeals court in Washington that limited the records Congress is entitled to obtain. The court said the committee should receive records on financial links between foreign countries and Trump or any of his businesses for 2017-18. The appeals court also ordered Mazars to turn over documents between November 2016 and 2018 about the Trump company that held the federal government-granted lease for the former Trump International Hotel, located between the White House and the Capitol. In the ruling, the court said Trump’s financial records would “advance consideration of ethics reform legislation and its three lines of inquiry,” including presidential ethics and conflicts of interest, presidential financial disclosures, and adherence to constitutional safeguards from foreign intervention. and undue influence. The appeals court ruling ordered Mazars to hand over documents related to the Trump company that held the federal government-granted lease for the former Trump International Hotel. (Mark Lennihan/The Associated Press) The House investigation dates back to February 2019, when Trump’s former personal attorney Cohen testified to the committee that Trump had a history of falsifying asset values to gain favorable loan terms and tax benefits. Cohen served time in federal prison after pleading guilty in 2018 to tax crimes, lying to Congress and campaign finance violations, some of which involved his role in orchestrating payments to two women to prevent them from speaking out about alleged affairs with Trump. But his testimony prompted the committee to seek key financial documents from Mazars, and in April 2019, the committee issued a subpoena to Mazars seeking four targeted categories of documents. The following month, Trump sued to prevent Mazar from complying with the subpoena. The case has since moved through the court system. Mazars earlier this year said it had cut ties with Trump and warned that financial statements the firm had prepared for Trump “should no longer be relied upon” by anyone doing business with him. As part of the settlement, Trump’s former accounting firm Mazars will hand over certain financial documents.

In that case, a three-judge appeals court panel agreed last month with a lower court ruling in favor of Congress and that the Treasury Department should provide the tax returns to the panel. The Justice Department, under the Trump administration, had defended then-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s decision to withhold tax returns from Congress. Mnuchin argued he could withhold the documents because he concluded they were being sought by Democrats for partisan reasons. A lawsuit followed. After Joe Biden took office, the committee renewed the request, asking for Trump’s tax returns and additional information for 2015-2020. The White House took the position that the request was valid and that the Treasury Department had no choice but to comply. Trump then tried to stop the extradition in court.
