Lawyers for President Donald Trump said Saturday they’ve reached an agreement with congressional leaders to delay the handover of banking documents from Trump accounts.

Trump records from Deutsche Bank and Capital One are being sought by the House Intelligence and Financial Services committees amid probes of alleged foreign influence on U.S. elections.

The agreement was first reported by CNN; it was subsequently confirmed by NBC News.

On Wednesday a federal judge ruled that the banks could hand over the documents sought under congressional subpoenas. But leaders of those committees made a deal with Trump’s team to halt the court-approved handover while the case is appealed by the president’s lawyers.
