Iran Press/America: On May 20, Judge Amit Mehta of the DC District Court, ordered accounting firm Mazars to turn over US President's accounting records from before he was President to the Democratic-controlled House Oversight Committee.
Mehta has ruled a 41-page opinion to reject Trump's attempt to block the committee's subpoena, asserting that Congress is well within its authority to investigate the US President.
US President is going to appeal his decision, calling it "crazy". He had a backlash saying “We will appeal it,”. He added, “It’s totally the wrong decision by, obviously, an Obama-appointed judge.”
This action was a response to US president's defying all the subpoenas submitted by the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which is controlled by the house democrats.
In his last action, Trump instructed former White House counsel Don McGahn on Monday to disobey a congressional subpoena, making what he had told, practical.
Mehta believed that the House Oversight and Reform Committee had valid reasons for subpoenaing several years of Trump’s financial records from the accounting firm Mazars, even though the scope covered the time before he was president.
Before this, the Justice Department unveiled a new 15-page legal opinion from Steven A. Engel, the head of the department’s Office of Legal Counsel, asserting that “Congress may not constitutionally compel US president’s senior advisers to testify about their official duties.”
It has been a constitutional crisis in America over the limits of US president's power for a while and after democrats became the majority of the congress, they have tried to submit different subpoenas regarding the Mueller report.
US President has defied all of the subpoenas but now has faced a judge's rule and it is unclear that until when he would be able to resist all the pressures applied by house democrats, and others. 104/214
