The Justice Department said Friday that former President Donald Trump’s tax returns should be released to congressional Democrats, though it may be unlikely that will happen soon.
“The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President’s tax information,” the agency’s office of legal counselRep. Richard Neal has said the committee needs the documents to examine how thoroughly the IRS audits presidential tax returns, which the agency routinely does. Republicans argue that Democrats want to comb the returns for things that would embarrass Trump.
The opinion comes the same day that Democrats and lawyers for Trump, who’ve been privately conferring for months over the matter, are to brief District Court Judge Trevor McFadden on how they want to proceed with the case.
Give them to Katie Porter
That's fair. Be it Trump , Biden or any citizen.
…. EVERY CANDIDATE … TO PRESIDENCY …. SHOULD BY LAW .. PRESENT.. THEIR INCOME TAXES RETURN …
I’d rather see stretch polosis taxes
Remember when it was illegal to use the DOJ as your own personal political advocacy group?
I'm trying to pretend the last 4 yrs we just a bad dream. Can we just move on and stop giving trump oxygen. He's started enough fires with his hot air.
Feeding into the culture war, regardless of subtlety, is gross exploitation. And you wonder why people hate corporate media? I wouldn't have cost anything extra to say 'released to Congress' but somebody wanted to stir it up. We don't need things stirred, we just want reporting.
Not may Fucking...SHALL
Common Americans r not interested in his tax return today. V need accountability for his actions n DOJ shud do that on priority basis o/wise his unhinged actions r already dismantling our democracy
I hope this ruined his weekend!

I believe it's called 'Congress,' not 'congressional Democrats.' Republicans can look at it too!
Interesting. The DOJ, should they want to look at tax returns, needs an ex parte court order. So how do they have the authority to grant another government body the right to access when they have no access themselves?
this story has gone from ordered to release to 'may' release pretty quick, hey
Then release them. Today...now. What’s the hold up now
They are to be released to Congress, not Democrats.
It's interesting the different reporting. Some say 'must release'. Some say 'may release'.
I’m starting to get really fucking concerned about all the shit Trump got away with that we don’t know about.
