A federal judge indicated he would block New York from giving President Trump’s state tax returns to Democrats in Congress, at least for now.

Trump’s lawyers are seeking to prevent the state from releasing the president’s tax returns and Congress from obtaining them under a newly passed law in New York.

U.S. District Court Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, said Wednesday he will issue an order soon that will allow New York to argue that the matter should be heard in a different court, CNN reported.

“Mr. Trump cannot suffer any harm” until the matter is resolved, Nichols said.

The judge also warned attorneys for the House Ways and Means Committee that Chairman Richard Neal, a Democrat, should not make any request for Trump’s financial documents until he issues his order.

New York has also said it would hold off on responding to any such request for seven days until after the jurisdiction matter is settled.

"I continue to expect that while I have this under advisement actions won't be taken to moot this," Nichols said.
