Judge Blocks New York From Turning Over Trump Tax Returns To Congress
1st August 2019
A federal judge blocked New York state from turning over President Donald Trump’s tax returns to Congress Thursday.
The order from Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, came in agreement to a proposal from the state that would allow it to challenge Nichols’ jurisdiction over the issue, Politico reported Thursday.
The order will block any House Ways and Means Committee requests for the tax returns via the New York law until the jurisdictional dispute is resolved.
