Despite the failure to prove accusations against Trump and his campaign for allegedly colluding with Russia in 2016 following the publication of Mueller report, the Democrats in Congress are continuing in their efforts to find possible misconduct by the US president.
US President Trump has reportedly filed a suit to block a subpoena issued by the Democrats in the House of Representatives aimed at revealing Trump's business and financial records.
"Chairman Cummings' subpoena is invalid and unenforceable because it has no legitimate legislative purpose", the court filing said.
Previously, the US president's attorney, William Consovoy, slammed the Ways and Means Committee's attempts to gain access to Trump's tax returns, stating that the House of Representatives doesn't have that authority. The head of the committee, Richard Neal, requested that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) present information on the president's tax returns from as far back as 2013, setting the deadline for the IRS on 23 April.
