House panel agrees to temporary stay of Trump subpoena to allow Supreme Court to weigh in on financial records
By Harper Neidig - 11/18/19 11:13 AM EST
The House Oversight Committee told the Supreme Court on Monday that it would not oppose President Trump's request for an administrative stay of an appeals court ruling granting House Democrats access to his financial records.
The panel said in a letter to the high court that it would not oppose a 10-day administrative stay while the justices decide whether to take up Trump's appeal. The committee also said it would file a response to Trump's motion by Friday.
Trump's lawyers had asked the Supreme Court last week to hear their case after the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the House committee could subpoena the president's accounting firm for eight years of financial records.
