(CNN) The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has subpoenaed Trump financial information from Mazars, an accounting firm that once prepared several years' worth of President Donald Trump's financial statements, according to a Monday memo to committee members from Chairman Elijah Cummings. Cummings had said he intended to issue a "friendly subpoena" because Mazars USA had requested it from the committee before providing records. Cummings is requesting financial information dating back 10 years after Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen accused Trump of inflating his net worth in an attempt to buy the Buffalo Bills football team. Cummings and other Democratic committee chairs have been inquiring after the President's financial information as part of several probes into Trump and his businesses. On Monday, multiple House committees issued subpoenas to a number of financial institutions as a part of their investigations into Trump's finances.
