The Treasury is free to obey a request from the House Ways and Means Committee for former president Trump’s tax returns after the Justice Department released an opinion on Friday saying that the demand was valid.
When they get ‘his’ returns, how many more nested LLCs, shell companies, & partnerships’ documents will they also need? Going through this stuff is going to be a Byzantine nightmare!
If just the Fulton County AG announce the prosecution of Trump for attempting to overturn the election results. I don’t know what she is waiting for, they have it in audio.
I don’t understand the flipflop here. Did the DOJ express a contrary view during the Trump years? Or did the Trump administration block it some other way? It’s important to know, because a DOJ that changes its legal opinions when Republican presidents ask it to is a DOJ in need of a massive overhaul.
The situation has also changed, right? Trump is now a private citizen, not the President.
Flip side though, I get that Congress can legally request any citizen’s tax return, but isn’t their reasoning for wanting it now different since he’s just a private citizen? Does the House investigate the business and tax dealings of individuals?
