    Since 1924, Congress has had the power to demand tax returns from people they are investigating. It came about in response to the Tea Pot Dome scandal in the Harding administration, Mellon who was involved in the scandal was like Trump and refused to open his business entanglements. https://www.npr.org/2018/10/11/65661...rns-here-s-how

    LOL!

    Trump doesn't take a salary because he's personally profiting off government business at his properties.

    You have so much contempt for everyone and everything else that you post shit like this in defense of Trump.

    Good. Now the people finally get to see what he was hiding. And why you should never under any circumstances vote for someone who refuses to disclose their tax returns.

    There's no legal requirement for government workers to show the public their past tax returns.
    Any returns prior to this are his business, not theirs.
    Congress has broad powers of investigation. They do not need a reason. The fact that he's president is reason enough. He is not a private citizen and relinquished all individual rights to privacy upon becoming president.

    Trump's tax returns will likely tell us why he's doing the things he does as POTUS.
