House Dems are asking a judge to end a delay in their suit seeking Trump’s tax returns, citing comments from Kenneth Starr, one of the president's defense attorneys in his impeachment trial
House Democrats are asking a judge to end a delay in their suit seeking President Donald Trump’s federal tax returns, citing comments from Kenneth Starr, one of Trump's defense attorneys in his impeachment trial., lawyers for the House asked District Judge Trevor McFadden to allow the case to proceed, complaining, “this case has been stalled long enough.
“Indeed, just yesterday, former D.C. Circuit Judge Kenneth Starr told the Senate on behalf of President Trump that a House subpoena-enforcement action could have been fully litigated even through the Supreme Court in a very short time, as was done in the Pentagon Papers case,” the lawyers wrote. “President Trump is telling the Senate that cases like this one can and should be litigated in a highly expedited way, while here he argues that the Court should delay,” they added.
McFadden announced two weeks ago he was putting the case on hold until a higher court decided a separate suit in which Democrats are seeking to force former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify about Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential elections. Both cases raise the basic question of whether Congress can sue the White House, something the Supreme Court has never clearly addressed.
