Intelligence Hearing?

Heard Rachel saying something related to taxes but I was on the phone. Help!

1. I gathered he had previously sued New York State about releasing his state tax returns.

2. Just found this, but did hear 'news' he'd sued someone TODAY, so not sure.

Trump sues House Ways and Means panel to block disclosure of his tax returns.

3. I think this may be it.

President Donald Trump asked a federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to immediately enjoin the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee from utilizing a New York state law to obtain copies of his state tax returns.

4. He asked a federal court for an emergency order

...keeping House Democrats from getting -- or even asking for -- his New York State tax returns.

One day after the president sued to block the House Ways and Means Committee from obtaining those records under a newly enacted New York State law, he petitioned the court to stifle any such request before it’s made by Committee Chairman Richard Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat.

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden in Washington set a July 25 hearing on Trump’s request.

Neal hasn’t committed to asking for the returns. They were placed within reach by the TRUST Act, a measure signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo earlier this month. It compels the state’s tax department to comply with the House committee records requests. Trump wants the court to invalidate the law too.

5. Thanks everyone

6. Trump used to say he'd be happy to release his tax returns...

... if only they weren't "under audit." Yet every time someone seeks to get them released despite the (supposed) audit, he tries to block it -- because he's obviously hiding something.
