Hearing date set in fight over Trump's New York tax returns

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Reuters) - A U.S. judge will hear arguments on Aug. 29 in a lawsuit that President Donald Trump filed to block a U.S. House of Representatives committee from obtaining his New York state tax returns, according to a court filing.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols in Washington said the hearing later this month would focus on whether he has jurisdiction over New York officials named as defendants in Trump's lawsuit.

Nichols said the New York officials should not comply with a request by the House Ways and Means Committee for the tax information until he has had a chance to rule on the jurisdictional issues.

In a July 23 complaint, Trump’s lawyers argued New York state violated his constitutional rights with a law passed this month that would give the committee access to the president’s state tax returns.

1. the delay game continues

A U.S. judge will hear arguments on Aug. 29 in a lawsuit that President {sic} Donald Trump filed to block a U.S. House of Representatives committee from obtaining his New York state tax returns..
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols in Washington said the hearing later this month would focus on whether he has jurisdiction over New York officials named as defendants in Trump's lawsuit.
Nichols said the New York officials should not comply with a request by the House Ways and Means Committee for the tax information until he has had a chance to rule on the jurisdictional issues.

The delay game plan by trump inc., continues. A one month delay for arguments. Then what - another one month delay while trump appointee judge nichols 'decides' whether to let it proceed, then another month or two for the next hearing ad per anum, uh huh uh huh.
This is what trump wants, delay till post election 2020 when it would become moot whether his tax forms were released.

Carl Nichols, like McFadden, was appointed by Trump to the federal trial court.. Nichols was confirmed in May {2019}.

Trump, despite vowing for months on the campaign trial that he would release his tax returns, has refused to do so. Trump was the first presidential candidate in modern times not to release tax returns.
