Republicans slam public release of realDonaldTrump tax returns
Democrats on the House Committee on Ways and Means released six years of Trump’s records after a yearslong legal battle to obtain the information, with Chairman Richard Neal ultimately succeeding in requesting the documents. Proponents of their release argued it is a necessary step for transparency, asserting they believe voters deserve to know leaders’ financial interests.
Rep. Jason Smith , who is vying for the Ways and Means gavel, echoed Brady’s sentiments, adding that he believes the release set a poor precedent. Democrats defended their authority, asserting that Trump’s decision not to release his tax returns was unprecedented and that it is Congress’ job to provide a check on the other branches of government.
