Judge gives Democrats one week for next move in Trump tax return case
A federal judge on Thursday gave House Democrats one week to figure out how they want to move forward in their lawsuit to obtain President Trump's tax returns from the administration.
Judge Trevor McFadden, a federal district court judge in Washington, D.C., appointed by Trump, held a hearing in the tax return case following a ruling in another major case that touched on some of the same legal questions.
McFadden's hearing came less than one week after a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in a separate lawsuit ruled that House Democrats cannot sue to enforce a subpoena of former White House Counsel Don McGahn. The ruling said federal courts can't resolve disputes between the executive and legislative branches.
McFadden had put the tax return case on hold until a ruling was issued in the McGahn case.
