Trump sues to block House panel from getting his state tax returns 0 SHARES Share it! A lawyer for Trump, Jay Sekulow, called the effort to obtain Trump’s state tax returns “presidential harassment” and accused the House committee and New York state officials of seeking “political retribution” against Trump. Traditionally, US presidential candidates have released their federal tax returns on the campaign trail. The House committee has sought Trump’s federal returns to shed light on his business dealings. Neal has expressed caution about using the New York law to obtain Trump’s state returns, saying it could harm efforts to get the president’s federal returns through the lawsuit.
