The Fight for Trump’s Tax Returns Heats Up

ABC News: “From Congress to the courts, Democrats are engaged in a quiet but sprawling push to obtain a copy of President Donald Trump’s tax returns, which they say could shed fresh light on possible conflicts of interest, foreign business deals and even the Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election.”

“Questions about Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns have followed the president from the campaign trail to the Oval Office and reemerged in force last week as a pair of Trump’s closest former aides -– his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his former personal attorney Michael Cohen –- confronted serious tax fraud charges that will likely land both of them behind bars.”
