As he should. Congress in getting his tax returns legally only has some legislative purpose in doing so. Releasing them virtually immediately after gaining possession is a purely political move that is illegal. Whether you love or hate Trump, you should be appalled that Democrats (or Republicans doing the same thing) did this and are likely to get away with it.
Why would anyone release a candidate’s taxes when those taxes are already out there for public review? It is Trump who set the new precedent, and now it is coming back to haunt him, as the saying goes, honesty is the best policy

What exactly is illegal about the release of trumps tax returns. Do be specific!
In my view, a political candidate's personal tax return is their business, not the public's. I'd rather see their college transcript than their taxes.
Now that a House committee has obtained access to six years of former President Trump’s tax returns, congressional Democrats face an easy question and a harder one.26 U.S. Code § 7213 - Unauthorized disclosure of information

Congress only has the right to subpoena stuff for a valid "legislative purpose." They can't go on fishing expeditions against individuals and sure as hell can't pull someone's personal tax returns and then release them publicly like they did in Trump's case. That law above makes it damn clear they can't.
Again, hate Trump or love him, it illegal to release his personal tax returns without his permission. The law makes that absolutely clear, and Congress is not above the law.

All could have been ended back in 2015 if Donald did what generations of candidates did before him, release your income taxes for public review
But when you aren’t paying income tax, and call yourself a self made billionaire and you have incurred mountains of debt, understandable why he didn’t, his “chickens have come home to roost,” got no one to blame but himself

What do Trump's tax returns show?
The documents confirmed that Mr Trump paid no federal taxes in 2020 and only owed $750 in 2016 and 2017.
