House Chairman Requests Trump Tax Returns

Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said Congress has a duty to conduct oversight of “our voluntary Federal tax system and determine how Americans – including those elected to our highest office – are complying with those laws,” the Washington Post reports.

President Trump has refused to provide his tax returns, and in a break from other presidential candidates, never released his returns.

The New York Times says the request will start “what is likely to be a momentous fight with his administration.”
