Trumps sue to quash Deutsche Bank, Capital One subpoenas

President Donald Trump and several members of his family sued Deutsche Bank and Capital One on Monday seeking to prevent them from responding to congressional subpoenas for information about the president's finances.

The House Intelligence and Financial Services committees have issued subpoenas to several banks as part of their investigations of alleged foreign influence on U.S. elections.

Deutsche Bank AG has continued to lend Trump money when other banks have refused. Trump wrote a $35,000 check to his former personal attorney Michael Cohen from his personal checking account with Capital One Financial Corp. Cohen submitted a copy of one of the checks to Congress ahead of his testimony.
