A federal judge has ruled that a lawsuit to stop the release of President Donald Trump’s New York state tax returns was filed in the wrong jurisdiction.

Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, said on Nov. 11 that the president can’t sue New York defendants in a Washington court to block his state returns from being handed over to House Democrats.
