UPDATE 1-Trump sues to block subpoena for financial information
The subpoena sought eight years of documents from Trump and several of his businesses, lawyers for Trump and the Trump Organization said in a court filing. Elijah Cummings, the House Oversight Committee chairman, issued the subpoena to the president's accountant after Trump's former lawyer testified that Trump had inflated assets.
"Chairman Cummings' subpoena is invalid and unenforceable because it has no legitimate legislative purpose," the lawyers wrote. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and the U.S. House Oversight Committee did not immediately have a response.
