China News Service, September 18. According to the "New York Times" report on the 17th local time, former US President Trump's former accounting firm Mazars USA has begun to submit documents related to Trump's financial records to Congress.
The U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee has received its first batch of documents from Mazars, and more is expected.
The committee's chairman, Maloney, did not disclose the exact documents the panel has received so far, but said "Mazars has been very cooperative."
Maloney said work had already begun to review the documents it received.
Mazars, the longtime accounting firm of former President Donald Trump and his family business, terminated its contract with Trump earlier this year.
The documents provided by Mazars reportedly involved Trump's financial records from 2014 to 2018.
Before Trump became president of the United States in 2017, he worked in industries such as real estate.
The House Oversight Committee has struggled to obtain financial documents from Trump to investigate conflicts of interest, inadequate financial disclosures and violations of the Constitution's emoluments clause.
In 2019, Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, reportedly testified to the committee that Trump's financial statements misrepresented his assets and liabilities and that Trump " He inflated his total assets for purposes" and at other times "compressed his assets to reduce real estate taxes".
Previously, the House Oversight Committee had issued a subpoena to Mazars in April 2019, asking for years of financial records of Trump and his various business entities, among other things.
On Aug. 30, the committee reached a settlement with Trump for access to "critical financial documents that he had withheld from Congress for years," ending a long court battle.
Under the settlement, the committee agreed not to appeal the appeals court's decision, and Mazars agreed to abide by the order and file the requested documents "as soon as possible."
