WASHINGTON—The White House indicated that President Trump’s tax returns wouldn’t be turned over to House Democrats in time to meet their deadline later Tuesday, a decision that would escalate a battle over the documents and likely prompt a court fight.
Mr. Trump has kept his tax returns under wraps since running for president in 2016, breaking a 40-year tradition of voluntary disclosure by candidates and presidents. At times, Mr. Trump has said he would release his returns once an Internal Revenue Service audit is complete.
