Trump Sues to Stop Release of NY State Tax Returns

WASHINGTON (CN) – Acting as a private citizen, President Donald Trump filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday to block the House Ways and Means Committee from getting his state tax returns after New York lawmakers made it easier for members of Congress to do so.

Taking issue with the TRUST Act passed by New York lawmakers in May — authorizing state tax officials to release returns filed by lawmakers and political party leaders in response to requests from three congressional committees, including the House Ways and Means Committee — the lawsuit claims the legislation directly targeted Trump.

It notes the law also requires the release of the president’s state tax returns “if the Committee has already requested the President’s federal returns from Treasury.”

“The hyper-specific condition was, not coincidentally, already satisfied for the intended target of the Act: President Trump,” according to the lawsuit, which demands a permanent block on enforcement of the TRUST Act.

I think his tax returns should be released when Obama's birth certificate is released after all Obama's birth certificate wasn't provided when he ran for president or became president so that proof is 7 years over due!

In this order:

Kerry's DD-214.

Obama's actual birth certificate, parent's marriage license, his Selective Service registration, his passport during college, college grades and applications, whom else had his SS#s, his tuition bills and who paid.

Trump tax records, if they pass court review for not being subject to a Bill of Attainder.

We'll wait as long for Trump's info, if proper, as we have for Kerry's DD-214.
