Trump Sues to Stop Congress From Getting His Tax Returns

Earlier this month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill that would allow certain members of Congress to access Trump's New York state tax returns.

The bill requires New York officials to release tax returns of public officials that have been requested by "congressional tax-related committees" who cite a "legitimate task" of Congress in seeking them.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, claims the law violates the president's constitutional rights, Reuters reported.
