As Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/27\/ambush-trump-spox-taylor-budowich-sues-january-6-committee-pelosi\/\">reported<\/a> earlier this week, Budowich only found out about the subpoena on December 23, and filed a lawsuit on December 24 challenging the legality and constitutionality of the committee\u2019s subpoena. The bank and the committee did not wait for the courts to rule, and the bank\u2013represented by former Obama administration Attorney General Loretta Lynch \u2014 complied with the subpoena, with Budowich only learning about that fact from the federal judge in his case.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Lynch is remembered for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/\">secretive<\/a> meeting with former President Bill Clinton on the tarmac at an Arizona airport in 2016 while the Department of Justice was investigating his wife, Hillary Clinton, over her handling of State Department emails. That suggested a conflict of interest that eventually caused Lynch to step back from \u2014 but not recuse herself from \u2014 the case.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Budowich is now filing another lawsuit to force the committee to \u201cdisgorge\u201d the financial documents it seized from him. He notes that he had already cooperated voluntarily with the committee until it began pursuing his private banking information.<\/p>\n<p>Several other former Trump aides have sued the committee, which has tried to subpoena their private banking and telephone records without any clear reason for doing so. They have argued that the committee is exceeding its constitutional duty, that it is trying to perform a law enforcement function disguised as a legislative inquiry, and that it has violated the terms of its own enabling resolution by denying Republicans the ability to nominate their own chosen representatives to the committee.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to the&nbsp;<em>Times<\/em>, Budowch accused the committee and JP Morgan Chase of a \u201ccollaborated strategy\u201d against him.<\/p>\n<p>Obama <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/blogs\/politics\/2012\/05\/obama-jpmorgan-is-one-of-the-best-managed-banks\">called<\/a> JP Morgan Chase \u201cone of the best-managed banks there is,\u201d and praised CEO Jamie Dimon \u2014 statements that became even more controversial when it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/blogs\/politico44\/2012\/05\/obama-has-up-to-1m-in-jpmorgan-chase-holdings-123545\">revealed<\/a> that he personally had up to $1 million invested in the bank.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
