The Supreme Court refused to block a request by the House Ways and Means Committee for former President Trump's tax returns. The decision likely means that the returns will be released to the Committee immediately, ending a multi-year legal battle.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to block a request by the House Ways and Means Committee for former President Trump's tax returns. There were no noted dissents.
The House Ways and Means Committee argued that it needs the information contained in Trump's tax returns to meaningfully evaluate the IRS's presidential audit program. The Committee says it is considering implementing greater legislative oversight of financial activities conducted by presidents.
To support their argument, Trump's lawyers pointed to statements made by Democratic lawmakers, particularly following the 2016 election. Some congressmen, for instance, expressed a desire to see the returns in order to find out"what the Russians have on Donald Trump" and"how deep the crimes go."that President Trump tried to pressure the IRS to investigate his perceived political enemies.
