Aug. 1 (UPI) -- A federal judge in Washington, D.C., temporarily blocked New York state from turning over President Donald Trump's state tax returns to U.S. lawmakers Thursday.
District Judge Carl Nichols said the order would stay in place while he considers whether Trump's lawsuit should be heard in the nation's capital or New York. Trump sued to block the House Committee on Ways and Means from accessing his returns two weeks after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a law allowing the state to share the information with the U.S. Congress.
