Stand Up America Applauds Court Decision Ordering Trump to Give Manhattan DA Eight Years of Tax Returns

WASHINGTON

Following news that a federal appeals court has ordered Donald Trump to turn over eight years of personal and business tax returns, Stand Up America spokesperson Ryan Thomas released the following statement:

"While we expect that Trump will stop at nothing to block the release of his tax returns, even when ordered to hand them over as part of a criminal investigation, this decision is a critical victory for prosecutors. We commend both state and federal investigators for fighting Trump's baseless claim that he cannot be held accountable for his criminal conduct because he is a sitting president.

"No one--especially the criminal in the White House--is above the law and this decision means prosecutors are one step closer to holding him accountable for his crimes.

"If Trump has nothing to hide, then he should immediately turn over his tax returns."

Stand Up America is a progressive advocacy organization with over two million community members across the country. Focused on grassroots advocacy to strengthen our democracy and oppose Trump's corrupt agenda, Stand Up America has driven over 600,000 phone calls to Congress and mobilized tens of thousands of protestors across the country.
