House Committee To Vote On Public Release Of Trump Tax Returns

US

The House Ways and Means Committee will meet today at 15:00 ET 20:00 GMT for a closed-door session to vote on whether to publicly release former President Donald Trump’s tax returns.

  • Trump's tax returns were provided to the committee in November following a multi-year legal battle.
  • Presidential candidates are not compelled by law to release their tax returns but have done so voluntarily in the past.
  • Committee Chair Richard Neal (D-MA said in a statement upon receipt of the documents: "....the Committee will now conduct the oversight that we’ve sought for the last three and a half years.”
  • Ranking Republican member of the committee Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) will lead a press conference ahead of the vote to warn against making the returns public, saying that it could set a dangerous precedent for privacy.
  • The committee will be under Republican control in January, so this week is the last opportunity for Democrats to publicly release the records.
