A federal judge late Tuesday rejected an attempt by former President Donald Trump to shield his tax returns from Congress.

Trump had charged that the House Ways and Means Committee, led by Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.), did not have a legitimate legislative purpose for pursuing his returns. Neal had said the purpose was to make sure the IRS-run Presidential Audit Program has no flaws.
