House Democrats Vote to Release Donald Trump's Tax Returns
[Breitbart] In an unprecedented move, Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday voted to release several years’ worth of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns.
The committee’s vote came after chairman Richard Neal (D-MA) started a lengthy court battle in 2019 to review Trump’s tax returns. Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Trump’s request to block an appeals court order ruling that he turn over his tax returns and financial information to the committee, ABC News reported.
Members of the Ways and Means Committee met behind closed doors on Tuesday for more than three hours before ultimately voting along party lines, 24-16, to release Trump’s tax records.
The committee reportedly voted to release the transcript of the closed-door proceedings when appropriate.
The committee did not clarify how and when Trump’s tax records will be released but did announce there will be two days to redact sensitive information before anything is released.
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung blasted the committee’s decision and accused the Democrats of "playing a political game."
