A federal judge threw out former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit seeking to block a House committee from getting his tax returns.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden said efforts by Trump’s lawyers to block the handover were wrong on the law.
“A long line of Supreme Court cases requires great deference to facially valid congressional inquiries. Even the special solicitude accorded former presidents does not alter the outcome,” McFadden wrote.
