California’s Supreme Court has rejected a law that would have forced any candidate to publish their 5 year tax returns in order to appear on the primary ballot.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, Democrat, had signed the bill in July. However the state Republican Party and Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson challenged the bill.
The court has now ruled the bill unconstitutional.
The New York Senate passed two bills back-to-back Wednesday that are being seen as a direct attack of the President.
The first could seen President Trump’s tax returns realised to Congress. The second could allow state prosecutors to charge people whom the President has pardoned with state crimes.
The bills are still to pass through the state assembly, before passing to the Governors desk. Republicans are calling the move politically motivated by the Democratic ran Senate of New York.
