The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia reversed a lower court’s dismissal of the House Democrats’ lawsuit. The appeals panel cited the House's argument that it was cut out of its “constitutionally indispensable legislative role” when Trump unilaterally moved about $8 billion to border wall construction. House Democrats sued three months after the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, triggered by Trump's demand for border wall funding. Another appeals court ruled in June against the transfer of money from military construction projects. Building a border wall was one of Trump's signature campaign pledges four years ago, though he promised then that Mexico would pay for the wall.
CNN video(CNN) - A federal judge on Thursday denied an attempt by House Democrats to fast-track its attempt to force the Treasury Department and IRS to release President Donald Trump's tax returns. The ruling from Judge Trevor McFadden in Washington, DC, does not stop the lawsuit by the Democratic-led House Ways and Means Committee, which continues to move ahead with filings due in September. House Democrats are also trying other legal ways to obtain the documents. The Court does not fault the Committee for its time and efforts negotiating with the Administration before suing, but it is not clear why only now the Committee asks for expedited consideration of this matter," McFadden wrote Thursday. "It may be appropriate to expedite this matter at some point, but not now," he added.
