The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday agreed to an accelerated schedule for the next round of legal battles between the House Oversight and Reform Committee and President Trump over obtaining the president's financial records.
A three-judge panel on the appeals court will hear oral arguments on July 12 to determine whether the accounting firm Mazars can hand over Trump's financial records to House Democrats.
The court also set a series of deadlines spanning June and July for parties to submit filings arguing their positions in the case.
The order comes one day after lawyers for Trump and House Democrats jointly asked the appeals court to set the expedited schedule for the case.
District Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointee, ruled in a D.C. court earlier this week to uphold the subpoena to Mazars for the president's financial records.
But the joint motion filed on Wednesday indicated that Mazars has agreed to not supply the documents until the appeals court makes its ruling.
Trump also suffered a blow in federal court in New York on Thursday, when a judge rejected the president's attempt to halt subpoenas issued to Deutsche Bank and Capital One for Trump's financial records.
I thought they turned them over already.
There was an article posted a few minutes ago stating Waters already has the materials.
I DO NOT understand how the court in New York can determine that private tax records must be turned over based on a whim.
What the hell is happening to this nation.
The rule of law simply does not exist any longer.
In addition, setting a hearing for July 12th, when Congress already has the materials is worthless.
I hadn’t heard that but in the article it says they agreed not to turn them over until the appeals court ruling.
Two of nine institutions have already turned over documents.
Man, I’ve got to say that if a president can get railroaded this bad, what chance do I have?

Those were bank records from two banks, this is records from Trump’s accounting firm.
You may want to read the post this was posted to.
It confirms your thoughts in part. 2 of 9 institutions have already given Maxine Waters the documents.
Headlines even at Fauxnews have been blasting Max’s victory over Trump and the docs handed over for at least an hour.
NY declared war against the President personally.
They are sill the private documents of Donald Trump. They have no business turning them over.
It’s amazing how fast institutions can cooperate when it’s a Leftist demand.
Are they looking for something related to a specific crime or is this just another democrat fishing expedition?
Only the emergence of a Pinochet or draconian "self help" will save us from destruction as a nation.
I couldn’t agree more.
Bank records are bad enough but I believe the real target these leftist basturds want is his accounting records.
I think the turkeys will take whatever they can get and would try to make a crime out of anything.
I’m calling my Congressman to request he ask for the 235 Democratic Congressional members’ tax and bank records.
Why aren’t the Republicans in the Senate demanding the Clinton Foundation financial records and Obama’s school records?

It’s beginning to look that way.
I’d oppose that too though.
I want our nation to work withing the Constitution.
By the New York court went belly up fast.
You can say that again, I wonder if they even read the suit before ruling.
