Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump continues to show disdain for the Constitution by his suggestion to hold the G7 summit at his Doral golf resort, lawyers for more than 200 Democrats in Congress told a federal appeals court Tuesday in an emoluments lawsuit.

"Increasingly brazen, President Trump just last week announced that he was awarding the next G7 summit to his resort in Doral, Florida, only to reverse course after a public outcry -- in the aftermath, disparaging 'you people with this phony Emoluments Clause,'" a court filing states.

The lawsuit is one of several aiming to access the President's financial records, as Democrats say Trump is violating the Constitution by doing business with foreign governments without first seeking congressional approval.

It is filed in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, one of the most powerful appellate courts in the country and often seen as the last step before the Supreme Court.

A lower court allowed the lawsuit to go forward, but the appellate court agreed to step in and hear an early appeal before any subpoenas could go out. Arguments in the case will be heard on December 9.
