The Supreme Court has allowed a key House committee access to 6 years of former President Trump's tax returns. Now, the lawmakers have to decide what to do with them.
After the Supreme Court last month cleared the way for Democrats on a key House committee to access six years of former President Donald Trump's tax returns, lawmakers still have to decide what to do.
“Democrats are unleashing a dangerous new political weapon that reaches far beyond President Trump, and jeopardizes the privacy of every American," he said in a statement. “Going forward, partisans in Congress have nearly unlimited power to target political enemies by obtaining and making public their private tax returns to embarrass and destroy them.”
The most high-profile probe began in 2019 when Democrats took over the House of Representatives and Chairman Neal launched his effort for the returns. On Tuesday, the majority of conversation will not be conducted in public view with Rep. Neal likely to quickly move the meeting to a private setting in order to discuss private information.
