California can ask a nonprofit group started by conservative billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch for the names and addresses of its donors, but the state can’t publicly disclose that information.
A federal appeals court on Monday overturned a lower-court judge, allowing California Attorney General Kamala Harris to seek the information from the Americans for Prosperity Foundation while the group’s lawsuit is being decided. The foundation contends it shouldn’t have to share with the state the donor data it gives the Internal Revenue Service.
