Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave lawyers for President Donald Trump a temporary win on Friday in their bid to block subpoenas issued by House Democrats involving the president’s financial records.

Lawyers for the president had asked the Supreme Court to block subpoenas to Deutsche Bank and Capital One for the president’s financial records. Ginsburg granted their request for a stay, but it expires in one week barring further action from the court.

In the emergency application to the high court, Trump requested a hold be placed on a ruling by a lower court requiring the two banks to hand over his information to the Democratic-controlled House Intelligence and Financial Services committees.

“The Committees’ desire to use the President, his family, and his businesses as a case study is not a ‘legitimate legislative purpose,'” Trump’s lawyers argued in the application.

Rather, they claimed, “It is an attempt to exercise executive power beyond Congress’s legislative reach and to expose Applicants’ private records ‘for the sake of exposure.’”

Trump’s lawyers wrote in the application that the issue at hand is “whether the President will be allowed to petition for review of an unprecedented demand for his personal papers, or whether he will be deprived of that opportunity because the Committees issued these subpoenas to third parties with no incentive to test their validity.” Read more

A lower court ruled earlier this week that the banks must comply with congressional subpoenas for Trump’s financial records.
