President Donald Trump on Tuesday filed another lawsuit in his ongoing effort to block a congressional committee from accessing his tax records, this time targeting authorities in his home state.
"Like House Democrats, Democratic officials in New York have used every tool at their disposal to expose the president's private financial information," lawyers for Trump wrote in their complaint."And like House Democrats, their goal is to retaliate against President Trump and damage him politically."
"We have filed a lawsuit today in our ongoing efforts to end Presidential harassment," said the president's attorney Jay Sekulow in a statement."The harassment tactics lack a legitimate legislative purpose. The actions taken by the House and New York officials are nothing more than political retribution."
