A federal judge in Sacramento issued a temporary injunction against a new state law that was intended to force Trump to disclose his tax returns in order to run for reelection in 2020.
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law, SB 27, in July that requires any person running for president to disclose five years of income tax returns to secure a spot on the state primary ballot. "These are extraordinary times and states have a legal and moral duty to do everything in their power to ensure leaders seeking the highest offices meet minimal standards, and to restore public confidence," Newsom said at the time.
U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England Jr. felt differently. Ruling from the bench on Thursday, England said the new law would cause "irreparable harm without temporary relief" not only to Trump but to many other presidential candidates.

I'd like to take a look at the financial records of some of our local "politicians"... They ain't livin' the "highlife" on what us citizens pay them.
There's no requirement for anyone to show Congress their tax returns without a subpoena and a criminal charge. These fishing expeditions need to stop.
