California's governor signs law requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns if they want to appear on the state's primary ballot.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California's Democratic governor signed a law Tuesday requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns to appear on the state's primary ballot, a move aimed squarely at Republican President Donald Trump.
New York has passed a law giving congressional committees access to Trump's state tax returns. But efforts to pry loose his tax returns have floundered in other states. California's first attempt to do so failed in 2017 when then-Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, vetoed the law, raising questions about its constitutionality and where it would lead next.
“The State of California’s attempt to circumvent the Constitution will be answered in court,” the president's personal lawyer Jay Sekulow said in a statement.
