The law would require Trump to release his tax returns to appear on the 2020 primary ballot.
Trump is one of two presidents over the past 40 years who hasn’t voluntarily released his tax returns.: In the latest move to shield his tax returns from Democrats, President Donald Trump’s campaign has sued California in an attempt to block a law that would require Trump to release his tax returns if he wants to appear on the state’s 2020 primary ballot.
The lawsuit argues that the law sets an unconstitutional requirement for the presidency, calling it part of “the Democrats’ ongoing crusade to obtain the President’s federal tax returns in the hopes of finding something they can use to harm him politically.” The Republican National Committee and right-wing group Judicial Watch have also filed lawsuits against the state this week.
Since it would apply to the 2020 presidential primary, the aim of the lawsuits are to block the law from ever taking effect.: California Governor Gavin Newsom said in a press release that the state has a “moral duty to do everything in their power to ensure leaders seeking the highest offices meet minimal standards, and to restore public confidence.
The law applies only to the primary because the state doesn’t have control over ballot procedures for the general election. : Trump is one of two presidents over the past 40 years who hasn’t voluntarily released his tax returns . Democrats have been clamoring to get Trump’s records, but so far their efforts have failed.: If the law isn’t struck down, it’s unclear whether Trump will comply.
