Former President Trump speaks at a 'Save America' rally on Oct. 22 in Robstown, Texas. Photo: Brandon Bell/Getty Imagesfrom obtaining his tax returns.Trump has been fighting for years to block the release of his tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee.
His request comes after a federal appeals court last week declined the former president's request to block the release of his tax returns, CNN"This case raises important questions about the separation of powers that will affect every future President," Trump said in theThe filing argues that the House committee is seeking his tax returns solely for the purpose of "releasing the President's tax information to the public.
"The Committee's purpose in requesting President Trump’s tax returns has nothing to do with funding or staffing issues at the [Internal Revenue Service]," per the filing. "No Congress has ever wielded its legislative powers to demand a President’s tax returns," Trump's team wrote. Trump asked the court to "grant an administrative stay" on the tax returns by Wednesday "and then to stay the issuance of the mandate pending the filing and disposition of a petition for writ of certiorari," per the filing.
No he's making ILLEGAL MONEY FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES!! SAUDIS, RUSSIA, CHINA, N. KOREA!! HIS SON IN LAW DID TOO!! WE'RE SICK OF HIS CHEATING !!
He's NOT the President. He's a fat man playing golf at Mar A Fatso. Private citizen.
You promised to make the tax returns available. Was that another one of your lies? You are the worse scum of humanity.
And why shouldn't the public see his tax returns like we have been able to see every other president's returns before or since?
Chicken Conald, why is he so afraid? ArrestTrumpNow
Democrats are diminishing the powers of the Executive office with their relentless attacks on Trump. No one is BELOW the law. Democrats need to learn that.
The Supreme Court is egregiously compromised.
Trump's a liar
The public should see his tax returns, as with all honest presidents since 1977, except one.
Every other President has released their tax returns but okay FG
Is that a legal argument?
ABAJournal And that would be bad because......?
Obviously, Trump wants a return on his investment. 💰💰💰💰
He did say he’d release them when they weren’t under audit. This must be a really long audit, or he was lying. Wonder which one it is?
He's not the president
does he not realize that he is making it obvious he has something to hide? or that the public pretty much already knows
As well they should
Oh boo hoo sissy orangeboy. The law is clear. You lose.
Who's going to tell him he's not 'the President'?
When will he realize he's not the effing President any more?
Go ahead rip the band-aid off Donald. Time to be a grownup and face the music
Using the American Courts again and honestly has nothing to do with Courts, Congress wants the tax records, we want to see that Loophole you found. That ended up being the oldest tactic not paying taxes, two sets of books. No loophole, you bragged for years about it Donald.💙
And what is wrong with that Donald? Every president before your bogus realityshow gave their taxes willingly to the Americanpeople because that is how it is done for normal taxpaying Americans.
Der!
exactly what he promised to do many, many years ago in the land of drug fueled campaign promises. lol
What a lying, whinny baby!!!
He's been promising America since the campaign debate 25 Feb 2016, that he'll gladly turn over his tax returns as soon as the current 3 year already in progress IRS audit's done. That's been (checks) 7 yrs on the promise & a 10 year 'audit' in Feb. 2016.
The optics of Trump frantically trying to hide his finances are just devastating.
For Trump, having his tax returns disclosed is the equivalent of getting publicly pantsed on Fifth Avenue and losing every supporter.
That must be the longest IRS audit in history.
Every other president has made their tax records public. Why should the Supreme Court be concerned with this? If they rule in his favor, it just further cements how partisan the court has become.
He said he would release the tax returns to the public, so what's his problem? If this is his legal argument he'll look like the fool he is.
For once, DJT is absolutely right! Every American needs to know that DJT is not wealthy! That DJT has been evading his tax liability for decades . That even if they don’t care, DJT’s “wealth” is an 100% con.
Why are they releasing it for public consumption? WhatsThepurpose
OMG really....every other person running for office has. And he promise to release them.
'solely for the purpose of 'releasing the President's tax information to the public.' Sorry...? We fail to see what the problem is here.
Every president, except CHEETO, has released his tax returns.
Well, now that ELONMUSK owns Twitter, does that mean I can call Trump a royal A$$=HOLE !! TrumpIsGoingToJail Trumpisgoingtoprison
It looks like he doesn’t want his supporters to know his money comes from Russia.
P.S. trump ISN'T saying this because he very likely DOESN'T know what the Ways and Means Committee does, this sounds more like his lawyers instead.
For a man who has nothing to hide, he sure is fighting really hard to hide nothing.
Why do we hang up on Mr Trump? Let the man be. He was a great President, unlike the current occupant of the White House. Just my thoughts 🇺🇸🙏
Trump Is Not the President 🙄
Trump said in 2015, 2016, 2017, & 2018 that he would release his tax returns once the irs is done with an 'audit'. 1) it is not clear if there was ever an audit. 2) I guess we can chalk up his denial of releasing his tax returns as yet another Trump lie. Color me surprised!
So, what is his excuse now that the whole audit story isn't working out?
Honestly they're jus gonna criminalize him for doing the same thing with his taxes that they do.
All Presidents disclose their taxes.. this igit is hiding so much!!
They only use them for witch hunts when they have more pressing business tending to the economy and the elder abuse of JoeBiden
naomi_ranni The whiniest Snow Flake on the planet is WHINING Yet again about NOT letting his taxes out after 7 YEARS! He is NOT As wealthy as He claims and Hasn’t paid His Taxes!
Because then the entire country will have SOLID IRS proof he is quillty of Tax Evasion/ Bank fraud. This will be good.
Hmmm…. I wonder what Trump is so hysterically afraid of if the public sees his tax returns. He certainly doesn’t act like the innocent victim he claims to be for any of his crimes!
LongIslander57 Yes!!!! Because the public has the right to know if they are voting for a crook.
Yeah, I don't want to pay my taxes because the government is going to use the money to pay for coke laced candy canes from Christmas..
Something he should’ve done long ago.
Which most presidential candidates have done unasked. So now the JOB of SCOTUS is to protect/shield Repubs from any accountability because God forbid they may be found GUILTY in our Justice system?
Perfect. This is EXACTLY what he promised to do. He should be thankful. 🤣
the returns unobstruct his russian connections
It's non of my business or yours to know anything about his tax returns!! Give it up!!
Enough already. Time to face the music, Private Citizen Trump.
every previous President released their tax returns. Trump said he'd release them if he won. That was in 2016. He's been fighting against having to keep his word ever since. What a paragon of leadership ;)
Did Republicans ever demand to see Obama's tax returns even after his net worth multiplied 10✖
So what
So what's the issue with the public seeing your returns? After all you did say you would show them.
“Stop them! They’re going to do the thing I promised to do years ago!”
Oh! The audit is done?
Clarrrrrence please take care of this….
Presidents are supposed to release thier tax returns and we've been waiting for 6 years, so blow it out your butthole.
You mean like every other President has?
What’s he afraid of? His treason will be exposed?
Gee why do so many people have zero trust in the SC? Maybe because republicans are using it as their get out of jail free card. 😒
Nothing says “I’m innocent” like hiding the evidence.
If Democrats and media was sincere, they would ask for other President’s tax records for ‘legislation purposes’ decades ago. Everyone knows (even those who wont acknowledge it out loud) this is a political con job.
What is Trumplethinskin afraid of?
Mobster has something to hide. Trump is a loser. Such a weak human.
Cry harder, Little Donnie.
Homeowner safety tip - If underwear wearing hippie penetrates your neighborhood wall, evades security guards, disarms your alarm and enters home armed with a hammer, simply ask for a pee break during home invasion/assassination attempt for opportunity to call 911
That's not a valid argument. I know them ppl in the courts are tired of his ass!
Didn't Rachel Maddow already expose Trump's tax returns and it turned out to be a nothing burger?
All former Presidents had to do it. Sound good to me.
