Republicans Ask Democrats To Please Leave Trump's Tax Returns ALONE

WASHINGTON ― Republicans in Congress have formally asked Democrats to stop trying to get their hands on President Donald Trump’s tax returns.


Democrats are holding a hearing Thursday on the importance of disclosing Trump’s tax information, which would reveal how much money he makes, who pays him and how much tax he pays.

Ways and Means can obtain anyone’s tax returns under a provision of the tax code. This provision has existed since the 1920s, when Congress enabled three congressional committees to obtain the president’s tax returns without the chief executive’s consent. Those committees can then release those tax returns to the full House or Senate if they choose. The Joint Committee on Taxation famously did so in 1974 when it sent its report on President Richard Nixon’s tax returns to the House.

Not since Richard Nixon. Trump is in good company, isn't he?

Republicans can ask all they want... doubt it will get that far.

Nixon - and I truly hated the slime ball - was ten times the President that Trump is.

Considering the number of official investigations and two Emoluments Clause lawsuits involving Trump, his tax information is necessary for the American public to see just how he accrues his money and if he has debts that leave him susceptible to blackmail and kompromat.

You’re being too generous to Trump.

Of course Republicans don’t want Trump’s tax records to be scrutinized. They, along with the majority of Americans, expect that there will be very embarrassing, if not criminal, information in them.

Trump brought it on himself.

True - I am in a good mood so I was kind.
