NEW YORK — 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.”
