Accord on Appeals Schedule Reached in Trump Financial Records Case

by Reuters

   WASHINGTON --

   The House Oversight Committee has reached an agreement with President
   Donald Trump's attorneys to seek an expedited appeal in a court case in
   which lawmakers are seeking the U.S. leader's financial records from
   his
   accounting firm, the panel said in a statement Wednesday.

   A U.S. judge ruled Monday that the Mazars accounting firm must turn
   over the documents to the House Oversight and Reform Committee, but the
   president had appealed the decision.

   The panel said in a statement that under the schedule, written
   arguments could be submitted as early June 12, with briefings completed
   by July.

   The court has yet to approve the accelerated schedule.
