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 Washington D.C. judge agreed to listen to a motion to move the case to New York but the documents cannot be released under a new New York law while the case is pending.
Trump is seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) from taking advantage of the New York law.
Neal, who is separately suing Trump for his federal returns, has not shown much interest in using the law for fear it could undermine his own suit. Trump is concerned though that Neal could change his mind and obtain his filings without warning.
We are being overrun by foreigners breaking in, Iran and North Korea are threatening us, China is interfering in our elections, but this is what Democrats care about — Trump’s tax returns. They have gone mad.

Judge Rules on Whether NY Can Give Trump’s Tax Returns to Congress

Trump LIED to America. He said in 2016 that he would show his tax returns. EVERY PRESIDENT has voluntarily handed these over – BUT him. What is he hiding. We all know. They will find out. He will be done.
The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in D.C., in Epic v. I.R.S. had already ruled in December, 2018 that a taxpayer,including President Trump, specifically must give permission to the I.R.S. before it can divulge them to anyone, unless such disclosure falls under specific limited exceptions in the law. The Secretary of the Treasury cannot be forced to release tax records since it is in the discretion of the Secretary to ask or not to ask the Joint Committee on Taxation to authorize their release pursuant to said legal exceptions. SOT Munchen had already determined to decline doing so regarding President Trump’s federal tax returns.
It is expressly stated that these must be provided to the house committee that asked for them. Your argument is not supported by law

Could somebody please tell us how some federal judge in Hawaii, Washington State or anywhere else has jurisdiction over the entire United States by ruling an policy or executive order issued by President Trump is unconstitutional?
