A federal judge on Wednesday extended an order that requires the Treasury Department to give former President Trump's personal lawyers 72 hours notice before providing Trump's tax returns to House Democrats.

Judge Trevor McFadden, a federal district court judge in Washington, D.C., appointed by Trump, extended the notice requirement until March 3. The order had previously been set to last until Friday.

The extension of the notice requirement comes after the Biden administration said in a court filing on Wednesday that it needs more time to determine its position in the lawsuit over the House Ways and Means Committee's request for Trump's tax returns. The administration has not yet taken a position about whether it will comply with the request.

"Defendants require additional time to evaluate their position in this case, due to the still-ongoing transition to new leadership at the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Justice," DOJ lawyers wrote in a court filing.

6. We need that law passed requiring any presidential candidate to release tax returns.

And the returns must come from the IRS, not the candidates. Or at least the IRS should be required to compare returns for accuracy. Someone like Trump would just release doctored returns that made him look good.
