The lawsuit contends the law should be ruled unconstitutional and his tax returns in New York should not legally be available to the congressional committees.

Albany BureauALBANY - President Donald Trump sued New York and Congress on Tuesday over a state law that allows congressional committees to seek his state tax returns.

"The TRUST Act also grew out of a larger campaign in New York to uncover and expose the President’s private financial information in the hopes of damaging him politically," the lawsuit said.Trump's response "Tax secrecy is paramount — the exception being for bona fide investigative and law enforcement purposes," Cuomo, a Democrat, said in a statement when he signed the law.

The lawsuit notes that the president's concern over the New York law has been raised in recent days after House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., has suggested he might be open to using the New York law, after indicating previously he wasn't interested in it.

But if you’re so (successful) price it!!!!

He continually says he’s probably the most transparent president this country has ever had. If that’s true why is he fighting so hard to keep folks from looking at his state & federal tax returns, keeping members of his staff from testifying, etc. etc!

Always hiding stuff.

It’s available to authority for any other citizens... check how many people lost their house and money to irs investigation... 😂

What’s the matter trump - don’t like being grabbed by your mangina.

Henonly needs to straighten the other finger and we can all shout hi hitler. ?

No one gives a crap about his tax returns.

Ok, so he's hiding some major criminal activity. Gotcha.

Trump is hiding evidence of crime and this is obstruction of justice. Impeachment per Article 2 is appropriate.

New Yorkers know than con...HaaaaaaaaaaaaWaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaa! racist

Such a waste of money! What are you hiding. Absurd.

😂😂😂😂... So many secrets.. He cant keep with his alternative facts

Would of been nice if the HouseDemocrats had already requested & received them.

All the chaos ( immigration,Iran,'the squad') the last couple of weeks are red herring that have come as NY AG's & Richie Neal was narrowing in on tax returns. to ID red herrings, look at what was happening just before they were unleashed. then stick to that real issue : Greed
