BREAKING: A federal judge throws out former President Trump's lawsuit seeking to block a House committee from getting his tax returns.
U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden said efforts by Trump's lawyers to block the handover were wrong on the law.
But the judge put the effect of his ruling on hold for 14 days to give the Trump legal team time to appeal.House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., first asked for the tax information in April 2019, citing a federal law that requires the Treasury Department and the IRS to turn over individual tax returns when demanded by any of the three congressional tax committees.
Neal renewed the request earlier this year, saying the Ways and Means committee wanted the information to see how well the IRS was carrying out its policy of automatically auditing every president's tax returns. This time the Treasury Department, backed by a Justice Department legal position, said Trump's returns should be handed over to Congress.
