WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on a court hearing in Washington in which President Donald Trump is seeking to block Congress from obtaining some of his financial records (all times local):

1 p.m.

A federal judge suggested Tuesday he is skeptical of President Donald Trump's efforts to block Congress from obtaining some of his financial records.

Judge Amit Mehta held a hearing on Trump's effort to keep financial records from Congress. Mehta did not rule on whether the House's subpoena of Trump financial records is a valid exercise of legislative power, but he said he would do so "promptly."

The lawsuit comes amid a widespread effort by the White House and the president's attorneys to refuse to cooperate with congressional requests for information and records.

Mehta suggested Congress has broad power to investigate. He at one point said that there isn't a case since 1880 where the Supreme Court or an appeals court found that Congress overstepped its boundaries in issuing a subpoena.

And when this latest fauxrage bites them in the ass, what molehill will be next to attain Everest-like prominence?

We have have Iran acting up, Venezuela occupied by Russia, f**e news, the Clintons Murdering everyone before they can rat them out (testify), Hillary colluding with Russia and we are worried about Trump's tax returns. I couldn't care less about Trump's tax returns.

Tin foil a little tight there whacko? Do you ever think about the moronic BS that you write? Trump's tax returns might show where he has been getting his money to keep his loser ass afloat all these years after he squandered Daddy's money.

Fauxrage? Trump got the AG to investigate his own investigation! That should outrage any citizen. He is a Czar in training. He will be really fortunate if he wins this next e******n, cause as "Individual 1" the SDNY has him clearly in the crosshairs, but so should the Senate if they were not so tied to his BS to protect their asses. Burr is the only one that has half an ounce of Patriot blood in his body.

We are talking about the ability of Trump and his circle of crooks to fight Congressional subpoenas. The other two matters are still very much in play.

Again, What ever happened to taking Trump down for colluding with Russia and obstruction of justice??? These unwarranted Congressional subpoenas are nothing short of P**********l harassment by Democrats because they are fck* pissed they failed to take Trump down with the manufactured Russian collusion conspiracy. Now they are creating yet another unhinged conspiracy.

Congress is running scared because all points to Barry O's administration. Probably will find Schumer and Pelosi involved too!!!

Smoke another one! Tin Foil hats for all Alex Jones wannabes.....

If Democrats in Congress were actually running scared, the last thing they would be doing is launching more investigations. They would want the whole Russia, obstruction, etc., thing to just go away. The one who is fighting so hard to keep info from the American people is the one who is running scared. Any patriot who actually cares about our country more than their party should be terrified by the involvement of Russia or any other country in our democratic processes of e******ns.

I agree. It is just the latest lib f*****t socialist democrat ploy to try and take down a duly elected President. If I were Trump, take it to the Supreme Court. No law requires that a President must supply tax records.

Elaine2025 Loc: Seattle, Wa

You really have no concept of reality do you? Are you actually stupid enough to think that Trump does not have a successful business empire that makes tons of money? Really? Are you that stupid?

Elaine2025 Loc: Seattle, Wa

I think you might be running scared. A federal prosecutor has been appointed to look into the DOJ, FBI, hildabeast, who paid for the dossier, why it wasn't vetted, why they didn't notify Candidate Trump, why they sent an agent to try and have sex with Popadopoulous, why they didn't vet the dossier, who knew what and when did they know it, and what they did or did not tell the FISA judge, such as the fact that the dossier was opposition research paid for by hildabeast. Dems will be heading off to jail, and I hope liar and leaker Comey is the first one to go.
