President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee have filed suit against California over a law that requires presidential candidates to release their tax returns in order to appear on the state’s primary ballot, one of Trump's personal lawyers said Tuesday,
“Legal scholars from across the political spectrum have roundly condemned this flagrantly illegal statute. We are confident the courts will as well,” Sekulow added.signed a law that requires presidential candidates to submit tax returns for the most recent five years to “It certainly doesn’t bode well for Democrats heading into 2020 that their best bet for beating President Trump is to deny millions of Californians the ability to vote for him," she said.
POTUS WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump if California wants to play that game, then California doesn't deserve to participate or Vote in any PresidentialElection Let's exclude all CaliforniaVotingPrivileges in any 2020PresidentialElection
Where are all the states’ rights advocates now?
Other states should do the same. Also, the rule applies to ALL candidates alike.
I like the California law. Wish my state would do the same.
His legal bills must cost almost as much as his golfing does!
More states should require the same
Why Hiding something Eh?
Just release your tax returns and all is solved. Or do you have something to hide that is so bad for you that it is worth the effort and expense to sue California?
I hope PresidentDonald Trump win again 2020
If all politicians are willing to release their tax records, fair game! Why did Obama get to withhold his personal records but Trump cannot? Hypocrisy at its finest Dems!
Trump will prevail
I think all the Rich Republicans don’t want there taxes released. You don’t see Democrats hide this information? Why is that.
So funny that Newsom thought he was going to control a Federal election. What he actually came close to doing is invalidating all votes from State of CA in Presidential election, which would be swell. Thanks GavinNewsom .
Hoping Ca. is once again leading the country in reform. This is a great idea and should be law in all 50 states.
California Governor before it’s a constitutional issue what will be next ? Medical records, birth certificates, school records etc It’s a privacy issue
👏👏👏👏 💯support for President Trump DemocratsAreCausingHate DemocratTerrorism DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
Yes so this is the most important issue in America right now?
If you have nothing to hide you don’t go to so much effort
How about just release the tax returns 🤡
Awww, is 45 having another tantrum?
What happened to the Republican mantra of States rights? What BS
Game on Motherf***er
Of course he is!!!😒😒😒
Loll so his reasoning for not showing his tax returns is because he’s being audited and yet here he is scared as shit so he sues in order to hide it. How blind and stupid are the people who voted for him.
tdzwilewski Boy he is in sleezebag heaven, with all these lawyers at his disposal. Everybody gets a law suit. Hope he’s footing the bill, not the American people.
Release your taxes POTUS
Hahaha! Good luck with that. NJ did it too and a few other states. 😂 🐓💩
They Will Lose. Onla A Dictatorship Wouldn't Be Interested In Knowing If Their Leader Is Beholden To A Hostile Government Who MEANS US HARM.
That’s all this unconstitutional law was designed to do. Take up resources to damage a presidential campaign.
What is he so afraid of?
Why hide if you ( Trump) have not committed any crime..,?
Why aren't you informing the people that, the cost is coming out of their pockets?
I hope they lose!!!
Trumper: “Since he’s so busy this surely must be a national security issue” Literally anyone with a pulse: “Aw. Baby trump trying force his own rules on everybody”
How many lawsuits is Trump currently engaged in? Who is paying the bills? TeamTrump donors? GOPChairwoman ?
What happened to moscowmitch and the states running their own voting and election process?
Hmmmm... wonder what THAT means...
realDonaldTrump why file suit? They will let you back on the ballot if you show your tax returns. What's the problem? It's so easy.
Because suing and firing everyone is always the answer.
whatishehiding
Trump sure doesn't want anyone to see his tax returns. Sure shows there's something there he just doesn't want seen.
You knew THAT was coming!
Meanwhile, as democrats are screaming racism and white supremacy, conservative Trump supporters are cleaning up RepCummings district. realDonaldTrump
I’m guessing he is hiding something!
Or you could just....release the tax returns idk
Remember when Trump said that he would gladly release his tax returns but he was being audited? That we have a serial lying sadistic sociopathic criminal occupying the WH is horrifying!!! WeAreNotNumb
Donald, Donald, Donald. Just make them public. Everyone knows you have been broke for a decade, on paper.
DESPERATION IS A GOOD LOOK FOR THIS MONSTER..
Release the tax returns...or give up California
Red flag.... Trump is worried about something. Wake up America.
Had Trump been forced BEFORE the election we as a Country wouldn’t have a White Nationalist who’s a Russian loyalist as President.. A man who’s bankrupted more time than you can count to live outsides his means should never have access to others money especially the US taxpayers.
Good, they should. Not constitutional...
🤡
What is the justification of their suit? That a state cannot ensure that a candidate isn’t a crook first? I think EVERY state should do this. He is definitely hiding that he is not worthy to be our president.
Must be really really really bad tax evasion to go through all this. Has realDonaldTrump been bribing the IRS all these yrs FoxNews NBCNews maddow followTheMoney
I hope trump loses his case
States have complete control over primary ballots as far as I know.
Well since we know the man is a tax cheat, yep it is aimed at him.
Let's just admit it's a Bill of Attainder.
