NYPD Sued For Trump Family’s Handgun Records

Courthouse News reports:

The New York City Police Department was hit with a lawsuit on Thursday to cough up handgun license applications submitted by President Donald Trump and his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.

“[The NYPD’s] failure to fulfill their public disclosure obligations has stifled public knowledge of matters of great public interest regarding the president and his sons (who are also his advisors on gun-related issues), their applications for and ownership of guns, and hand gun licensing practices in New York City in general,” attorneys for the Daily Dot wrote in an 9-page petition. “Such secrecy benefits no one and erodes public trust in government. The documents should be disclosed.”

Trump’s concealed-carry license was also the subject of a Politico article in February. Elite Daily ran a story in March on how his son Trump Jr. trekked to Pennsylvania to obtain the same license weeks after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
