WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A federal judge has given an unnamed bank more time to respond to a congressional subpoena for financial records of the Washington research firm that hired a former British spy to compile a dossier on presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Trump and other Republicans have alleged that Russians paid Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, for research on their own dealings with Trump and his campaign. The Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee has sought Fusion's bank records in an effort to pursue those allegations.
It has been widely reported that supporters of Republican Jeb Bush, a primary opponent of Trump, initially paid for the firm's research.
U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan had set a Thursday evening deadline for the unnamed bank to give the committee its last two years of records on Fusion GPS. But in an order posted on the court docket late on Thursday, she extended the deadline until Monday morning.
The decision indicates that lawyers for Fusion and the House committee are negotiating in an effort to settle their dispute out of court, sources familiar with the matter said.

Why give them more time to destroy hard drives and shred documents? Again, justice denied to Democrats.

Sh*t, meet fan.
Keep it out of court. can’t have any of that awful old discovery stuff happening.
The Bank needs more “cloth” time.
So, what is the defining line of difference between “FUSION”
and this law firm PERKINS COIE, where the tricky lawyer Mark Elias sits, at the center of all the entities?
Sounds like the Republicans are reaching across the aisle to cut a deal keeping the details secret.
I knew it!!! Corrupt bastards I’m so sick of them! *itch skates!!!
Damn! Why doesn’t the House attorneys demand a ruling so they can get the documents or appeal to a higher court. This is a loser for Fusion GPS. The House Committee has subpoena power. Let’s go and get the facts on the table, now.
What law firm and lawyers represent the bank? What is plain silly is that Mr. Russian Collusion Mueller didn’t already obtain these bank records during massive scrutiny of GPS Fusion. It doesn’t occur to Mueller to start with the KNOWN culprits rather than ignore them?
No, the shiny thing is OVER THERE!
I seriously doubt the bank has any vested interest in order to stonewall. Do they really want to protect Fusion at the expense of both a congressional and possible DOJ review?
Crush the Bank and GPS Fusion.

She’s a Jamican! No indication if or when she became a US citizen.

Harry Reid will love the Koch brothers if they paid for the digging.
Maybe they should receive the Manafort treatment...armed fed agents surround building before they open, firearms drawn and they spend the day searching the entire bank premises.
