In the face of the Democratic-dominated Congress, US President Donald Trump counterattacks. He launched legal proceedings against banks Deutsche Bank and Capital One. The purpose is to prevent these institutions from giving the Congress information about the financial transactions of their empire.
Two weeks ago, two House of Representatives committees summoned several financial institutions. The goal is to get information about the finances of Donald Trump, his family and his companies to make sure they have not used the US financial system for illicit purposes.
Deutsche Bank has long been the only financial institution willing to do business with the Trump Empire and therefore has a lot of information about the current president and his entourage.
Trump and his companies sued
According to the CNN channel, Deutsche Bank reportedly began giving congressional committees certain documents. For Donald Trump's lawyers, this is a new Democratic attempt to tarnish Donald Trump's image.
The president, his children and seven of his companies have therefore taken legal action against Deutsche Bank and Capital One to prevent them from forwarding information to Congress about their financial transactions. From the point of view of the House of Representatives, this is yet another proof of the US President's determination to oppose the constitutional supervisory authority of Congress.
Donald Trump's son denounces harassment campaign
" You know, during the campaign my father was talking about the deep state. And that's what's at work. They do not want to do their job: to fix the health system, the immigration problems, they do not want to solve anything, they just want to assign anyone who has had contact with Trump. We say that it is presidential harassment. That's all these people do: harass Trump, "said Eric Trump on Fox News.

" Besides, it's not just about my father. They want to see all my bank accounts, they want to know how much my wife Laura has spent on products for our baby Luke, how much Tiffany spent drinking a beer in Georgetown on Friday afternoon. It's really a form of harassment, it's not just a particular request. Any family member at any time is concerned, I mean they even assign banks with whom we have not done business, "he added.
" These people are so upset! They do not advance on the fund problems, they know that Trump will still win, so what do they do? They harass us. It's the deep state at work, that's what my father denounced during the campaign and people see the Democrats for what they are, "said Eric Trump on Fox News.
