Trump Tries to Block Summons for Viewing Financial Information. The attorneys of US President Donald Trump tried Monday to stop the summons for access to his personal and corporate finances.

According to them, the summons is "not valid and cannot be enforced because it has no legal purpose".

Democratic chairman Elijah Cummings of the commission of inquiry of the American lower house is the initiator of the summons.

He asked for Trump's financial documents in eight years. The former lawyer of the president had testified that Trump had exaggerated his possession.

The White House has not yet responded to the lawyers' actions. The investigation committee also did not meet.
