    Default Treasury Department must hand over Trump tax information to House committee

    The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel has determined the Treasury Department must hand over former President Donald Trump's tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee.


    The opinion, posted Friday, says that while the committee "cannot compel the Executive Branch to disclose [tax information] without satisfying the constitutional requirement that the information could serve a legitimate legislative purpose," the Ways and Means Committee in this instance '"invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President's tax information."

    Not Congress' issue as it isn't a "legislative purpose." That's the IRS's job...

    So Trump should not have to pay any taxes if he so chooses.

    Trump should pay the taxes he owes according to the same 74,000+ pages of laws and regulations you and I use to pay the taxes we owe.



    The IRS can audit anyone they feel needs being audited, and Trump is one of those that automatically gets audited each year. So, what can Congress find that the experts at the IRS didn't?

    Hate to say it, but who cares, we pretty much all know now that Trump skirts and manipulates tax laws as much as he and his army of accountants and attorneys can, if anything blatantly illegal arises the NY AG will catch it, they have had the returns for a couple of months now
