AdvertisementThe House Oversight Committee has received a first batch of documents from Mazars following a legal settlement regarding various financial information from 2014 to 2018, the Times reported. Financial records that must be turned over to Congress under the settlement include any document that indicates false or undisclosed information about Trump or his companies’ assets, income or liabilities. In addition, Mazars must turn over records from 2017 and 2018 related to relationships between Trump’s businesses and foreign nations.
