Well,, it looks like Team Trump lost another battle. The collection of data can procede.. although I am sure the republicans will try to appeal it

Judge says Democrats can begin collecting Trump financial records in emoluments suit - CNNPolitics

A federal judge told US House and Senate Democrats they can begin collecting financial evidence this week about Donald Trump's businesses for a lawsuit.
Judge Emmet Sullivan, of the US District Court in Washington, denied an attempt by the Justice Department to stop the Democrats from collecting information from the Trump Organization and to appeal early court decisions in the lawsuit, which tests the constitutionality of Trump's business holdings while he serves as President.
The case is one of several avenues Democrats have to get to Trump's financial records.
Sullivan said the group of more than 200 members can begin collecting evidence June 28 through late September. Previously, the members of Congress said they plan to seek both documents and depositions from the Trump Organization.

But the Justice Department had hoped to take the case to an appeals court before the evidence collection began.

Well, I guess we'll have to see what happens as a result.

It will also be interesting to see what happens to the next Dem who sits in the White House. The "return the favor" is going to be awesome.

No modern president except Trump has refused financial transparency.

Why, no matter who is in the white house, I think it is good to have transparency into that person's finances. I don't care where who's in there.

There's no law that says Trump should comply with what you think...
 
Back to Obama in Post #17.

You're a one-trick pony.

When it comes to an investigation into the emoluments clause, the lawsuit just showed you are wrong. It might not be 'release to the public' as a law, but dang, that would be a very good law.

Trump does not anyone to defend him. The onus is on your team to prove our guy is a crook.

So far your team is batting zero.

Please post the section of the Constitution where it requires the President to do so.

You are familiar with the protections the Constitution provides every citizen aren't you?
