May 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday objected to a judge's plan to fast-track his lawsuit seeking to block a congressional subpoena for information about eight years of his personal and business finances.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington proposed holding a trial on Tuesday, May 14, but Trump's lawyers said that plan would deny the president a "full and fair" hearing.

Trump's lawyers said the hearing should only deal with his request for a preliminary ruling.

Mehta will decide whether Mazars LLP, Trump's long-time accounting firm, must comply with a subpoena issued by the House Oversight Committee seeking financial records for Trump and his company.

4. Mehta in a minute order on Monday said Tuesday's hearing would proceed.

Trump’s lawyers said in a Monday filing they opposed the sped-up timeline. “While Plaintiffs understand the Court’s desire to decide this case efficiently, resolving it in this way—and on this schedule—will severely prejudice Plaintiffs,” Consovoy McCarthy Park partner William Consovoy wrote. “Put simply, proceeding in this fashion will deny Plaintiffs a full and fair opportunity to assemble a record and brief the merits of their constitutional claim.“

Mehta in a minute order on Monday said Tuesday’s hearing would proceed. The order said he “will take up” Trump legal team’s opposition during the hearing.

It doesn't sound like the judge is going to slow things up for them.
