The House Ways and Means Committee made a major move on Friday morning, releasing six years of President Donald Trump’s personal and business tax returns, including related work papers. The documents cover the years 2015-2020.
The release of the returns, long sought by Democrats, marks a major milestone in the ongoing battle between the president and Congress. It has been speculated that the documents could contain information that would shed light on Trump’s finances, including his income sources and possible ties to foreign entities.
The House Ways and Means Committee, led by Chairman Richard Neal, has been attempting to gain access to Trump’s tax returns since April 2019. The president has long refused to make his returns public, a break with decades of precedent.
The committee’s decision to release the documents could have major implications for the president’s future, as well as for the ongoing investigations into his business dealings. It is unclear what, if any, information the returns contain.
