Circuits decision, Congress can subpoena any private records it wishes from the President on the mere assertion that it is considering legislation that might require presidents to disclose that same information,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Trumps legal team argued that Congress doesnt have to constitutional authority to get the private financial records because the subpoena lacks a legitimate legislative purpose.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/438432011\/Petition-for-Writ#from_embed\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Petition for Writ<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/user\/33877441\/M-Mali#from_embed\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">M Mali<\/a> on Scribd<\/p>\n<p>They said in the 304-page filing that the case involves a number of firsts, including the first time that Congress has subpoenaed personal records of a sitting President.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Committees investigation of the President lacks a legitimate legislative purpose. It is a law-enforcement investigation about uncovering whether the President engaged in wrongdoing. Nor can the investigation result in valid legislation. The Constitution\u2014not Congress\u2014created the Office of the President. Congress, accordingly, cannot require the President to disclose his finances or otherwise expand or alter the offices qualifications,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYet the D.C. Circuit never should have reached these issues because the Committee lacks express statutory authorization to subpoena the President. An express statement should be required given the separation-of-powers issues that are raised by unleashing every committee to subpoena every president for his personal records.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The case revolves around Mazars USA, Trumps accounting firm. The House Oversight and Reform Committee issued a subpoena attempting to obtain eight years of the presidents past financial information from the firm, claiming they needed to see the documents to help determine if any updates were needed to the laws governing ethics in government and to see if any information conflicted with testimony from Trumps former lawyer, Michael Cohen.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/12\/04\/A4A9654-1200x800.jpg\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" alt=\"supreme court\" \/><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/12\/04\/A4A9654-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"supreme court\" \/><\/figcaption><\/a> The Supreme Court of the United States in Washington on May 7, 2019.
