NEW: Fmr. President Trump seeks to block Treasury Dept. from handing over his tax returns to Congress.

handing his tax returns overThe committee’s stated reason for seeing the returns, to examine how the IRS audits presidents, is simply a pretext for wanting to look for something embarrassing, they said.

They say the statute the committee cites, which allows the tax-writing committees to get copies of individual returns, has never been used against a president, a former president or any elected official. Neal asked for the tax information in April 2019, citing a federal law that requires the Treasury Department and the IRS to turn over individual tax returns when demanded by any of the three congressional tax committees.But the Trump administration

He does not have the power

Not today Satan!!

what does he have to hide?

Congress has no business seeing anyone’s tax returns. Stop already with the witch hunt. Karma will be knocking on your day one day and wishing it be soon.

What you got to hide 45?

If he done nothing wrong what as he got to worry about that's what he said about hilary

Not surprisingly. He's been hiding which foreign governments own and influence him... He truly has no moral compass.

Because he had nothing to hide!!!!

Hats off to the photographer and social media team for this photo 📸👹

Thiefs, and liars. Two types of people I cannot stand, and if you are one, you are usually both.

This is SO out of hand. Move on.

What ya got to hide there buddy?

Poor guy. Must be so much in them to contradict what he's been saying about him being transparent.

Trump is hiding something.

What’s there for Tramp to fear in having his tax returns handed over to congress by Treasury? Is he guilty of tax evasion?What’s his fear? Perhaps as the saying goes; the guilty ar always afraid! Tramp may afterall be guilty as charged!

Let us ALL CashApp this man so he can get some more alcohol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is his first TikTok and I am DYING to hear more AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

People have gone after politicians, celebrities, ceo's, and anyone else. They all had to do it so should he. He's fighting so hard he must have a huge problem. Enough is enough, turn them over.

Trump’s gift to 🇺🇸

I doubt it. That’ll mean he’d have to spend his own money. But then again he’s still raising campaign money and fleecing his supporters.

that is a very weak argument. they're actually for evidence of corruption, fraud and other illegal activities

Am I the only one to see two red devil horns coming out of the top of Trump’s head in this photo?

This grifter is hiding something. For 4 years, he slither under the radar. Now he’s throwing a temper tantrum. Follow the distractions…

Something to hide

Can't we just get this over with?

No more, Trump. Your time is up.

Um, just no...enough is enough... 🤔

with the horns again? you guys are so weak

Innocent people definitely do this.

Vax cards to vote!

It only took a year for Congress to gain access to the Nixon tapes. But this is going on year 5?

He can’t. He lost…AGAIN!

He said he would release them. The 'audit' is over.

It goes on and on. SCOTUS will intervene and save his pasty ass.

I don’t think so Donny. Your time is up. We’re going to get to the truth.

It’s a done deal I thought.

Ain't life grant........TrumpTaxReturns

Of course he is.

ContrarySarie Ummm … that’s not news

Only crooks and cheats try so hard to hide.

some accountability would be nice, one day.

Nothing to see here—Just a desperate, terrified, drug addicted and addled criminal who is terrified of being found out.

He just does not want anyone to see how leveraged he is & how much he owes & to whom.

This is going to be such a rivera opening a safe thing...

Great photo 📸👹

wow it's almost like he has something to hide but i might be wrong🤪

Does that guy have devil horns

He’s clearly hiding something

Good luck with that. 😂🤣

Won’t happen. He lost

Watcha tryin to hide, Donnie?

Looks like the investigation is over.

Ah man. You tweeted his face? Why?

Good!!!!

Another witch hunt.

he sure is scared of what those taxes say

So what else is new?!

Congress might as well wait till NY AG criminally charges Trump for tax fraud, and the court unseals the record

He is always trying to block or overturn something. Is that a bully?

Yeah, fuck that.

ericserati68 Predictable

Love this picture that makes him look like the DEVIL he is.

Put hun in JAIL

Tax cheat

Maybe be he wrote off too much to pussy grabbing?

👽🤡

You know….every President (ones I voted for or not) have always provided tax returns for review. It’s not embarrassing entries that anyone seeks. It’s just the illegal business practices and foreign interest that was ignored his lawyers fear will be revealed. Ask SDNY.

That's everything but new

After the SCOTUS ruling, he has no standing for using the courts to delay this not to mention Mnuchin is no longer there to continue the stonewalling and cover up.

Good luck.

Let him drain his money.

Good, it’s unconstitutional to force a former president to hand over his tax return when he is a private citizen

Ahhh the siren song of the totally innocent.

Are those red horns coming out of his head?

Nothing has been going right for the former IMPOTUS lately.

What's new? Criminal PutTrumpBehindBars

He's a criminal

Wonder why
