The requirement makes sense to implement. However in the case of a state requesting in an investigation, it has been shown, up until this point, that he's required to do so.
I believe the courts will rule the same way with the congressional request.
Making them public is a different story.
So, if and when they are turned over, some will undoubtedly say it's an abuse of the law, although it technically is not.
You might make it a new requirement, but I have a feeling that the minute one state goes all out to limit one of the two party presidential nominees there's gong to be a fight. Remember the crap storm that followed when states tried to require voter ID ... before the election took place? A requirement to open past records would seem to run afoul of guarantees against ex post facto law. The funny part is seeing the libs rotating on some of their old rallying points ... like being against state's rights and for free speech.
