Donald Trump should have a chance to block House Democrats from obtaining his New York state tax returns, a federal judge decided, in a boost for the president as he fends off other subpoenas for his financial records while facing an impeachment inquiry
-- .
The ruling by Nichols, whom Trump named to the bench this year, came about 90 minutes before the expiration of his prior order requiring New York to tell the court if it had received such a request from Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat. The two New York state officials, Attorney General Letitia James and tax commissioner Michael Schmidt, last week won dismissal of the case against them after arguing that any lawsuit seeking to strike down a New York law ought to have been filed in a court within the state.
Previous courts have held that “relief may be appropriate when a claim is not yet ripe for judicial review but may both ripen and become moot almost instantaneously, thereby depriving the court of jurisdiction to decide the claim,” Nichols said in a 19-page ruling. He was referring to the fact that Chairman Neal hasn’t requested the tax returns from New York but that if and once he did, the state could deliver them immediately.
