A federal judge ordered Trump’s lawyers, House Dems and New York state to try to come up with a compromise in a fight over the president’s state tax returns
The surprise decision came in a case in which Trump is demanding a temporary restraining order to prevent Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal from taking advantage of a newly passed New York law that would give him access to the president’s confidential tax filings there. Trump is challenging the underlying law, and is concerned Neal could obtain the records while the case is still pending.
The problem, Nichols said, is that he was being asked to decide the lawfulness of a request that hasn’t actually been made. “I need to know more,” said Nichols, a Trump appointee confirmed to his post in May. “We don’t have the facts yet.”Sign Up At the same time, Nichols expressed concern that Neal could obtain the returns immediately, making the case moot, which led to him demanding the three sides try to work it out on their own. He wants them to set “forth any agreement they have reached — or in the event they are unable to reach agreement, their respective positions — regarding how this case should proceed.”
