Trump and his children SUE Deutsche Bank to stop it handing over their financial records to Congress, claiming the subpoenas have no 'legitimate' purpose and are designed to cause him 'political damage'

President Trump, his children, the Trump Organization, and the Trump family trust are suing to prevent Deutsche Bank from complying with Congressional subpoenas for bank records.
The lawsuit that was filed Monday names the Frankfurt-based lender as well as Capital One as defendants. It alleges that subpoenas issued by Congress ‘have no legitimate or lawful purpose’ and were intended ‘to rummage through every aspect of [Trump's] personal finances, his businesses, and the private information of the President and his family, and to ferret about for any material that might be used to cause him political damage.’
Deutsche Bank told the Times: 'We remain committed to providing appropriate information to all authorized investigations and will abide by a court order regarding such investigations.'
On April 15, two House committees subpoenaed Deutsche Bank and several other financial institutions as part of investigations into President Trump’s finances.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, both Democrats from California, released a joint statement calling the lawsuit 'meritless.'
EDITOR’S NOTE: Adam Schitt and Maxine Waters … Now there’s a pair the Dems can be real proud of. They’re both stinking turds!
