California judge blocks law requiring Trump to submit tax returns to compete in state's 2020 primary
A federal judge in California on Thursday granted the Trump campaign’s request to block a new law that requires presidential and gubernatorial candidates to release five years of tax returns to run in the state’s primary elections. The law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, in July would have left the sitting president off the ballot in California’s March 2020 primary unless he submitted his recent tax history by Nov. 26, the Los Angeles Times reported. Under the law, Trump would still qualify for the state’s general election ballot in November 2020.

Trump's legal victory in California came as he filed a lawsuit against his own accounting firm, Mazars USA, and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance in federal court on Thursday in an effort to prevent the release of his tax returns.
