|Updated:
A federal lawsuit was filed by Judicial Watch on Monday, challenging California law S.B. 27, which requires presidential candidates to publicly disclose five years of personal income tax returns in order to appear on the state’s primary ballot. S.B. 27 would prevent President Trump from appearing on California’s 2020 ballot.

Judicial Watch will be representing four California voters who filed the lawsuit last week against California’s Secretary of State Alex Padilla (D). The lawsuit will challenge the Presidential Tax Transparency and Accountability Act, S.B. 27.
