Using arguments deployed by President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial legal team, Democratic lawmakers are asking a federal judge to move forward with the House Ways and Means Committee’s lawsuit that seeks Trump’s tax returns—the same lawsuit that the judge paused a month ago.

The Trump administration responded in court documents, saying that arguments raised at the impeachment trial that ended in the president’s acquittal Feb. 5 aren’t germane to the lawsuit and that accelerating the processing of the case wasn’t legally justified.
