I've said it before, why would he would have to? Having to do something is usually due to the fact that not doing it is illegal. Trump doesn't care about the law. He would just say "no" and then nothing happens like usual.

I’m guessing it’s needed to show damages.
At this point I legitimately wouldn't be surprised if he just said no, fired the judge, appointed his own, and then got whatever the hell verdict he wanted and absolutely no one would say anything other than what a "massive win" he got in the courts
Absolutely NO way he'll fire Kacsmaryk. They specifically filed the suit in his district because he's the only judge in that district, so they knew he would be hearing the case, and he has often ruled in favor of Trump's absurd machinations.
Hey, plenty of people would "slam" him in news articles, the wheels of justice still turn! ^please ^don't ^riot ^its ^scary /s
Wow, so we get to see how corrupt the corrupt dictator is. And this will stop his tyranny how?
The "nice" thing here is that it would actually put in the record how corrupt he is. Not that that would do much other than nock another arrow for later suits.
He won’t. He’ll just do whatever he wants and bully them into settling.
Yeah, this. Theres no chance he does any of that.
The kicker is, he needs to win the lawsuit to become a billionaire before he shows his financials, to avoid his sycophants discovering he has never been a billionaire.
Although what would they care. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
With the sale of his Trump meme coin, he probably is a billionaire now. Yes, it tanked, but he doesn't care. He already has their money.
I don't think any major purchasers care, either, since it was probably a money laundering front in the first place.
He cares. It’s all [self-]image. He doesn’t care whether they care or not, it’s a blow to his ego. It’s the Hindenburg.
He would be a billionaire if he didn't give so much away.

Twice i remember his tax returns being leaked and it accomplished nothing.
But this isnt just IRS records, or stuff the government already has. Its legal discovery, your required to provide much more than just the stuff wealthy people are already good at hiding from the feds.
I hope that piece of shit gets screwed over hard. I also hope this lawsuit helps with the fall of swasti-Nazi Musk.
Zero chance.

Having done zero math to reach this figure, it’s known to still be optimistic.
Judge Kacsmaryk's lips are surgically attached to Trump's ass cheek, so CBS will be ice skating uphill in this one. They may as well take every swing they can.
People like him who have facilitated Trump's fascist takeover need to be held accountable
