Federal Judge Clears Path for Congressional Subpoena of Trump Financial Records
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In New York City, a federal judge ruled Wednesday that Deutsche Bank and
Capital One must turn over financial documents subpoenaed by Congress,
as lawmakers investigate whether Trump's business ties are influencing
White House policy. Deutsche Bank loaned over $2 billion to Trump for
real estate deals over nearly two decades, even when other banks refused
to do so. The decision came two days after a D.C. district judge upheld
a subpoena ordering Trump's accounting firm to hand over 10 years of
Trump's financial records.
