In recent years, Trump has fought on many fronts to be able to shield his income ratios from all government agencies. Among those who have requested access is a committee in the House of Representatives that was approved by the Ministry of Justice on Friday.
When Trump was president, then-Finance Minister Steven Mnuchin refused to share the tax returns because he thought Democrats wanted to see them for party-political reasons.
The committee filed a lawsuit to gain access to six years of tax returns and pointed out that they are needed in an investigation into whether Trump has acted in accordance with the tax law.
Trump has 72 hours on him
According to a January court ruling, Trump has 72 hours to protest the decision after Joe Biden’s administration formally changed the government’s assessment of the case.
In February, the prosecution in New York gained access to Trump’s tax reports following a Supreme Court ruling in connection with an ongoing criminal investigation.
In this case, the documents are protected from public access. If the tax returns are handed over to the congressional committee, it is more likely that the content will be revealed.
Since Richard Nixon, all U.S. presidents have published their tax returns.
