Read full article: House committee subpoenas agency for Trump DC hotel documentsCNNWASHINGTON (CNN) - The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee issued a subpoena to the General Services Administration on Thursday for documents concerning the Trump International Hotel's lease of its building in downtown Washington, DC. GSA -- the agency which supervises the lease of the Old Post Office building to the Trump Organization -- has refused to fully comply with the committee's document requests, according to the committee.

The GSA and Trump Organization did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Judge dismisses Trump lawsuit to block tax return subpoena
Read full article: Judge dismisses Trump lawsuit to block tax return subpoenaTasos Katopodis/Getty Images(CNN) - A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump to block a subpoena issued by the Manhattan district attorney's office for eight years of tax returns, rejecting the president's "extraordinary" claim that any occupant of the White House enjoys "absolute immunity from criminal process of any kind." Describing Trump's argument as a "categorical and limitless assertion of Presidential immunity," US District Court Judge Victor Marrero wrote in an opinion that it "would constitute an overreach of executive power." In September, after the lawsuit was filed, the district attorney's office agreed not to enforce the subpoena for a period of time that was set to expire Monday at 1 p.m. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office, led by Cyrus Vance Jr., is examining hush money paid to two women who, during the 2016 presidential campaign, alleged having affairs with Trump a decade ago. The DA's office sent Trump's longtime accounting firm, Mazars USA, a grand jury subpoena seeking tax returns and related documents going back to 2011.

Trump sued the New York County District Attorney's office last week after the President's long time accounting firm Mazars USA was served with a grand jury subpoena seeking tax returns and related documents going back to 2011. Prosecutors are looking at whether the Trump Organization had violated any New York state laws concerning its reimbursement to Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney and "fixer." New York prosecutors responded Monday by filing a motion to dismiss the indictment and deny Trump's request for a temporary restraining order. The district attorney's office subpoenaed the Trump Organization last month and to date Trump's attorneys have turned over 3,376 pages of documents, according to the district attorney's office.

Any material obtained by a grand jury subpoena is covered by grand jury secrecy rules and would likely become public only if it were used as evidence at a trial. Marc Mukasey, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, said, "We are evaluating and will respond as appropriate."

It's an arrangement that contrasts with the President's recent claims that he knows "nothing" about Air Force crews staying at his resort amid growing criticism over the matter. Scottish government documents obtained by the Times show the Trump Organization made an arrangement with officials at Glasgow Prestwick Airport that routinely sends flight crews to Trump's Turnberry resort. According to The Times, Air Force stops at Glasgow Prestwick rose from 180 in 2017 to 257 in 2018 and 259 already in 2019.
