Chris Bragg reports in the Albany Times Union State Attorney General Letitia James is attempting to get the lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump July 23 in federal court in the District of Columbia dismissed, or at least moved to federal court in New York. The lawsuit is to stop New York from releasing Trump's state tax returns. The New York Legislature passed the TRUST Act earlier this year, allowing certain congressional committees to access copies of the state tax returns of certain elections officials, including the U.S. President. "Today's motion argues what we've said from the outset — that this case has no place in the DC courts," James said in a statement. "While President Trump has spent his career hiding behind lawsuits, this premature suit will not move forward until the question regarding jurisdiction is settled. We look forward to making our case during oral arguments later this month. We maintain that the TRUST Act is constitutional, and we will vigorously defend it." Trump's lawyers are arguing his First Amendment rights are being violated, as he says the state law retaliates against him for his political beliefs.
