Paperwork

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal broke the story (details here) that in response to subpoenas, six major banks have turned over thousands of documents to both Congressional investigators and New York state investigators about Donald Trump's business and also about accounts held by Russians that may have connections to the President.

The scope of the congressional investigation is an attempt to determine whether foreign powers have an undue influence on Trump and his family.

Trump and his children filed suit in April in an attempt to block subpoenas against one of the six banks but apparently didn't anticipate a wider net. And given that many of the documents were not about Trump's account but those of entities that potentially did business with him, he would be powerless as a third party to block those subpoenas.

At this point, speculating about what's in the documents is anyone's guess. But here's to hoping they contain incriminating evidence that could eventually lead to Trump's criminal prosecution.

Definitely stay tuned on this story.
