In his written briefings, Letter emphasized that the committees were conducting various investigations on issues of national significance. Among their “wide-ranging investigations,” the Committee on Financial Services listed probes into loan fraud, Bank Secrecy Act compliance and money laundering. The House Intelligence Committee cited its investigations into “Russia and other foreign entities to influence the U.S. political process during and since the 2016 election.”
The order by Ramos this afternoon refusing Trump an injunction is the latest in a succession of blows to the president’s longtime effort to keep his finances secret.
On Monday, another federal judge gave Trump’s accountants at Mazars USA LLP seven days to cough up his financial records. Today’s hearing meanwhile began mere hours after the New York Assembly authorized the release of Trump’s state tax returns to the U.S. House of Representatives.
Immersed in a “wide-ranging investigation,” the Committee on Financial Services and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence are seeking records from Deutsche Bank and Capitol One on Trump, his family and seven entities associated with them.

Ramos: Plaintiffs are unlikely to succeed on their constitutional claims.
