Douglas Letter, the lawyer for congressional Democrats, said the subpoenas were intended to elicit information on potential money laundering and financial fraud and that they were not overly expansive.
Judge Edgardo Ramos of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York appeared to agree. Lots of people do things, they hide assets, they create dummy corporations, they put their relatives in charge, the judge said in court before he issued his ruling.
Judge Ramos said he agreed with Mr. Trumps claim that turning over financial records to Congress could cause him and his family irreparable harm. But, he said, the merits of the congressional committees goals outweighed that harm.
After issuing his ruling, Judge Ramos said he thought it was unlikely that Mr. Trump and his family would win in a trial.

(144,939 posts)6. Judge Told Trump Attorneys Their Case To Block Subpoenas Isn't 'Serious'
Link to tweet
The bench ruling came two days after D.C. federal judge Amit Mehta issued a lengthy and broad opinion denying a similar request from Trump to shut down a Congressional subpoena to his accountant Mazars. In that opinion, Mehta compared Trumps behavior to that of President Buchanan.
Ramos called Mehtas opinion thorough, and quoted it in his own ruling.
Ramoss decision came after lengthy and contentious oral arguments, during which the judge took pain to grill both sides.
The private attorney representing Trump at the hearing Patrick Strawbridge of Consovoy McCarthy Park stammered as he attempted to respond to an initial volley of questions from Ramos.
