The transcript discusses a legal battle involving President Donald Trump, where two banks, Deutsche Bank and Capital One, are ordered to release his financial records to House committees. Trump's lawyers argue that the subpoenas lack a legitimate legislative purpose, targeting financial institutions used by Trump and his family long before his presidency. The Supreme Court, led by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has put a hold on the lower court's ruling until December 13th.
