As it happens, the Chief Judge of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals is none other than Merrick Garland.

“U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, said Trump cannot block a House subpoena of financial records. He said the Democratic-led House committee seeking the information has said it believes the documents would help lawmakers consider strengthening ethics and disclosure laws, among other things.

The committee’s reasons were “valid legislative purposes,” Mehta said, and it was not for him “to question whether the Committee’s actions are truly motivated by political considerations.”

He’s out of his mind.

I am probably showing my ignorance here, but Donald Trump was a private citizen 10 years ago. They are asking for records 7 years before he entered public service. Who was in charge of the IRS and Dept of Justice during those 7 years? Why the Democrats, of course. If there were any evidence of tax wrongdoing during that time, I’m sure it would have been no trouble to hand down indictments. Yet there weren’t any. So what kind of ‘legislative purpose’ does getting his tax returns serve?

notice the commies dont demand that Mueller testify..why is that, he has investigated this for over 2 years now..wouldnt he be the best person to talk to, about everything..notice the commie left has NOT demanded he testify..of course not, because if Mueller testifies this all ends, all of their BS ends and they know it..so instead they are going to harass President Trump for as long as they can, hoping he will crack and just bail

You missed this:

District Judge Amit Mehta on Monday ruled in favor of a subpoena issued by the House Oversight Committee for President Trump's financial records from the accounting firm Mazars.

So Trump can refuse, but Mazars Accounting can't.

Appeal is the only way.

Show me how I'm wrong.

Allow me to fix that quote for us:

“Democrat U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, a Democrat who was appointed by Democrat President Barack Obama, said Trump cannot block a Democrat House subpoena of financial records. Democrat Mehta said the Democratic-led House committee seeking the information has said it believes the documents would help Democrat lawmakers consider strengthening ethics and disclosure laws, among other things.

The Democrat committee’s reasons were “valid legislative purposes,” Democrat judge Mehta said, and it was not for him as a partisan Democrat “to question whether the Democrat Committee’s actions are truly motivated by Democrat political considerations.”

President Trump can try to take possession of his financial records from the accounting firm Mazars.

Yep; Mueller told the House Judiciary Committee that having him testify would not end well for the Democrats.
