Order for Disclosure of Tax Return Form to President Trump
In a case in which US President Trump asked the prosecution not to disclose his own tax return, the New York federal district court dismissed the allegation that the president's claim was not accepted. The president has appealed and the court decision has been suspended.
This case, while the New York prosecutor's office asked the accounting firm that was responsible for the final filing of the president, as part of the criminal investigation against President Trump, to file a tax return for the past eight years , The president insisted that the incumbent president is not subject to criminal investigation and appealed not to disclose it.
The New York federal district court dismissed the complaint on the 7th, saying, "The court cannot support the claim of protecting the president from the judicial process."
Following the court's decision, President Trump appealed to the Federal Court of Appeals, which ordered the temporary suspension of the Federal District Court's decision.
In the United States, it has become customary for the president to voluntarily publish tax returns, but President Trump has consistently refused to disclose it since he took office.
On the other hand, opposition parties, Democrats, etc. have pointed out that the president is suspected of asset decorations and tax evasion, and are seeking disclosure.
