The House Ways and Means Committee voted Tuesday evening to publicly release former President Donald Trump’s tax returns.
The meeting comes after the Supreme Court last month allowed the committee access to six years of the former president’s tax records following a yearslong court battle for the records.
Attorneys for Trump had argued that the committee was seeking the tax records for purely political reasons and without any legitimate legislative interest. However, lower courts ruled that the committee had broad authority to obtain tax records.Brady on Saturday cautioned that releasing Trump’s tax records “jeopardizes the privacy of every American.” He urged Democrats to vote against releasing the records.
Trump broke a 40-year tradition when he declined to release his tax returns during the 2016 presidential election. He has consistently resisted efforts to make the records public, claiming while he was in office that he was under audit by the IRS and barred from releasing his tax returns.
