Federal Judge Dismisses Trump's Lawsuit Over New York Tax Law

The video discusses President Trump's legal efforts to prevent the release of his tax returns under New York's Trust Act. The Act allows certain lawmakers to request state tax returns, but Congress has not yet done so. Trump preemptively sued to block this, but a judge ruled he cannot sue New York officials in DC. The president's lawyers argued DC was appropriate since records would go there if requested. Trump is the first candidate in decades to withhold tax returns, citing an IRS audit, which the IRS disputes.
