House Democrats had issued a subpoena to obtain records from the president’s accounting firm.
President Donald Trump lost a key court decision Friday in his bid to stop House Democrats from obtaining his financial records, the latest blow to his authority in legal rulings this week.
The 2-1 decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit stems from a case in which Trump sued to block Democrats from subpoenaing one of his accounting firms for a vast trove of materials as Congress probes for potential conflicts of interest and payments from foreign governments to the president.
