Alan Dershowitz says he’s still advising Jeffrey Epstein
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington will hear oral arguments on whether Mazars LLP, Trump’s long-time accounting firm, must comply with a House Oversight Committee subpoena seeking financial records for Trump and his company.
On Monday, the Republican president’s attorneys objected to Mehta’s plan to fast-track the lawsuit by holding a trial on Tuesday, saying that would deny Trump a “full and fair” hearing.
Either way, Mehta will likely issue a written decision at a later date, although he may indicate on Tuesday how he intends to rule. Whatever the outcome, his ruling will almost certainly be appealed to a higher court.
Mehta was appointed in 2014 by former Democratic President Barack Obama, who was investigated almost non-stop by Republicans in Congress during his two terms in office.
Mazars has avoided taking sides in the dispute and said it will “comply with all legal obligations.”
