For federal tax returns, there is a specific statute that prohibits publishing without consent:*26 U.S.C. § 7213(a)(3). But theTimes*published only the first page of Trump’s New York, New Jersey and Connecticut tax returns (not the federal tax returns), so that statute would not apply.)

It's illegal,to assault a woman's pussy,because you're a "star".

Who did that? You don't even know the definition of assault.

But good to know you support democrats illegally violating the fundamental privacy of American citizens.

You're wrong, it applies to States as well.

Further New York does indeed have privacy laws against releasing tax returns as they are deemed confidential.

And lastly from the OP:

The data — printouts from Mr. Trump’s official Internal Revenue Service tax transcripts, with the figures from his federal tax form, the 1040, for the years 1985 to 1994 —

So you fail again.

Now, can anyone defend this?
