Pelosi Statement on Victory in Mazars v. Trump Case

San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after the D.C. Circuit Court issued its ruling affirming the House Oversight Committee's oversight authority and subpoena:

"Today's ruling is a resounding victory for the rule of law, our Constitution and its system of checks and balances. It is a victory for our democracy, as the courts reaffirm the Congress's authority and responsibility to conduct oversight and consider legislation on behalf of the American people. As the Court stated, ‘Contrary to the President's arguments, the Committee possesses authority under both the House Rules and the Constitution to issue the subpoena, and Mazars must comply.'

"Armed with the support of the Courts and guided by the wisdom of the Constitution, we will continue to protect our democracy. We salute Chairman Cummings and the Oversight Committee for their outstanding work to honor our Constitution, and thank all Members for their patriotic leadership to defend our Constitution."
