(Worthy News) – A federal judge in California has temporarily blocked a law that would require President Donald Trump to release his tax returns to appear on the state’s ballot during the 2020 primary.
U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England, Jr., issued the halt Tuesday, stating that the law requiring candidates on the ballot to release their tax returns may be unconstitutional.
“While this Court understands and empathizes with the motivations that prompted California to pass the Act, it concludes that a preliminary injunction should nonetheless issue because the Act’s provisions likely violate the Constitution and the laws of the United States,” England said Tuesday in the 23-page ruling.
