The court said on Wednesday that a panel of eight judges voted against allowing Trump to continue his appeal.
The opinion reiterates the strong signal the court sent last month, when it upheld a lower court ruling that Trump's longtime accounting firm Mazars USA must comply with a House subpoena of his tax documents and turn over eight years of accounting records.
Trump's attorney Jay Sekulow said Wednesday that they will appeal the decision to Supreme Court, noting "well reasoned dissent" in Wednesday's ruling.
Courts -- including the Supreme Court -- have previously refused to curtail Congress' subpoena power.
The majority of the circuit court did not give reasoning why they declined to hear Trump's appeal on Wednesday. But two judges, Greg Katsas and Neomi Ra, both Trump appointees to the federal appellate bench, wrote that they disagreed with the vote and would have heard Trump's arguments again.
