Cummings Subpoenas Trump's Accounting Firm based on Cohen Testimony Ranking member of the House Oversight Committee and Government Reform Committee Rep. Jim Jordan excoriated Chairman Elijah Cummings in a memo to the committee for subpoenaing all of President Trump’s financial data. Cummings based his subpoena on testimony provided by convicted liar Michael Cohen’s testimony, the memo states, Jordan said. Cummings requested the information from the global accounting firm Mazars USA LLP, which represented Trump prior to becoming president. “This subpoena is a grave abuse of the committee’s authority and a violation of the Chairman’s pledge to the committee,” Jim Jordan “This subpoena is a grave abuse of the committee’s authority and a violation of the Chairman’s pledge to the committee,” states the memorandum written on Friday. “For these reasons, I reluctantly write to inform the Members of the Committee why I strongly object to Chairman Cummings’s unprecedented subpoena to Mazars and his irresponsible and gravely dangerous course of conduct in a singular obsession of attacking President Trump and his family for political gain.” Jordan says if Cummings obtains “highly sensitive, personal information about the President’s finances, he will selectively release the information publicly in a misleading fashion to create a false narrative for partisan political gain. Chairman Cummings has done it before. We deserve better.”
