A federal judge has put a House Democrat lawsuit seeking access to President Donald Trump’s tax returns on hold after an appeals court agreed to rehear a different case that raises similar legal issues to the case at hand.
U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden issued a stay on March 20 in the tax records case, pending further orders from the district court. In this case, the House Ways and Means Committee is seeking Trump’s tax return information and has requested that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provide that information. After the treasury secretary refused to comply, the committee issued subpoenas to the Treasury Department and the IRS.
