It is a well documented fact that the Trump empire is a financial house of cards. The public interest in his shady business practices has dramatically increased after Trump vowed to block the congressional subpoena for his financial statements from Duetsche Bank and Capital One. The Trump administration has every intention of keeping the issue entangled in the courts until after the election. But it’s moving through the court system much quicker than they ever imagined, and Trump is beginning to show signs of panic.

Judge Ramos of the Southern District of New York was the second Judge to decide that the House has every right to subpoena Trump’s financial records. While this marks a major setback for the administration’s effort, they have no intention of backing down.

According to CNN:

“Ramos’ decision starts a one-week clock for Trump’s legal team to find a way to hold off the banks from handing over decades or more of extensive information about Trump, his businesses and his family members, including White House adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner.”
