(CNN) The US House should be able to access some of Donald Trump's tax records through a subpoena to his accounting firm Mazars USA, a federal judge in Washington, DC, ruled on Wednesday. It is a major step toward resolving the long-running fight over access to Trump's tax records. Trump has been able to delay the subpoena by taking the case to court, appealing all the way to the Supreme Court. The case is a continuation of the House tax returns case that traveled up to the Supreme Court. Now, District Judge Amit Mehta has weighed the House request for Trump's financial records against the standards laid out by the Supreme Court in its 7-2 ruling last year.
