A federal judge has rejected former President Donald Trump’s bid to block congressional Democrats from obtaining his tax returns.
Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee to federal District Court in D.C., said Trump was “wrong on the law” and that Congress is due “great deference” in its inquiries. “Even the special solicitude accorded former Presidents does not alter the outcome,” McFadden wrote in a 45-page ruling. “The Court will therefore dismiss this case.”
McFadden stayed the impact of his ruling for 14 days to allow Trump to appeal the ruling to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
