Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — Democrats have officially launched their assault on President Donald Trump's tax returns.

It’s just the opening salvo in what’s sure to be a prolonged battle with the administration to see returns the president has refused to release.that he would protect the president’s privacy if members of Congress tried to request his tax returns. Democrats have been demanding to see Trump’s tax returns since the 2016 presidential campaign, with Neal’s request just the first stage of what will likely be a lengthy legal battle to obtain them. Since he was a candidate, Trump has claimed he can’t release them because he’s under audit by the IRS.

In early March, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told reporters if House Democrats were to request Trump’s tax returns, he expects his committee would do the same, but said that they’d remain private required by law.

Muller Report was a dud... what do we do now? He cheats at golf!! If that doesn’t work, let’s go for his taxes.

Pathetic Democrats

We The People Want All The Democrats Tax Returns!!! Now!!!

Trump demanded and was presented with a birth certificate for a sitting President. We the people demand proof he is not a tax cheat. showtrumpstaxes

Then he also requested President Obama's, President Bush's, President etc...

What a bunch of jerks!

None of their business really. Unless they’d like to have theirs reviewed as well. Not likely though. Just another Democrat temper tantrum.

This is what Democrats try when their operatives in the IRS can no longer create problems for conservatives. But this too will fail.

Ok President Trump needs to send a letter to the IRS demanding six years of tax returns from every democrat there is in the House!

When is enough enough?

Release the fisa applications

I’m getting disgusted with democrats constantly bickering about taxes and the Lord Mueller he’s not in good standing now because he didn’t give them what they wanted they lied for two years the Democrats no one can believe them now full of liar and leakers

They cant release them without consent....

Where does it say in the U.S. Constitution that it is mandatory for a person to show their personal and business taxes that is running 4 U.S. President?!!

I am sure that is what they are doing.

Imagine if Dems or MSM did ANYTHING but attack President Trump. It's literally all they do. Biggest Sore Losers on the planet!

Next you’ll want the kids birth certificates.....

Let’s see all Trump’s wardrobe! We the people have the right to know how many shoes 👞, suits, ties, Trump has bought with our money since he is President! 😂

When does Congress plan to do WORK for the people? For instance, our failing infrastructure would be a good place to start before bridges and roads collapse.

More and more proof of tyranny by the democrats to obstruct individual liberty imagine if they were in control all three branches of government

Well this doesn’t seem petty and politically motivated at all... *sarcasm*

Tax return is still a privacy matter. Can't release confidential data. To our knowledge the IRS is not under investigation or audits to make this request, lest there'd be a subpoena.

Get his ass.....rest assured, if the shoe were on the other foot, he, his ilk, and stupid followers would be doing the same.....they did more for Obama’s birth certificate.

Let's also look at the tax returns of all House Committee Chairman..Americans want to know who ALL the crooks are!

realDonaldTrump should not release a damn thing. First lets see the Tax Returns of FakeNews liars, and Democrats, to see who is paying them off to push propaganda and betray the Constitution and We The People .

This is an abuse of power, and will set a dangerous precedent if they are successful. Be careful what you wish for. No matter what you think of Trump, this is wrong. Where does if stop, and where is the line?

So tired of this crap.....Anymore, who would vote for a Democrat?....No respect for anything!

The House Ways and Means Committee isn't entitled to anything other than what was provided to the Federal Elections Commission. And you idiots wonder why nobody but democraps watch your network for anything other than sports. But alas NBC Sports is toilet bound two!

👏 get 👏 them 👏 taxes 👏

Whether you like this President or not this is a blatant abuse of power, one that ALL American's should oppose.

House Democrats increasginly troubled by Barr's plan for Mueller reportHouse Democrats are on a collision course with AG Barr as it appears increasingly unlikely that Barr will comply with their demands to see Mueller's full, unredacted report. ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport Kenneth Starr’s report on Bill Clinton was released on a Wednesday. By that Friday - TWO DAYS LATER - the complete report was made public. But that was when America’s democracy still worked. IStandWithSchiff Of course it is illegal to release the Grand Jury testimony. So, what the House Democrats are asking for is IDIOTIC. And, NBC News knows that and is deliberately keeping that out of their tweet because they are demonstratively PRO-DEMOCRAT. Cut him and his dept off from everything
