House Dems file lawsuit to obtain 6 years of Trump’s tax returns
The White House lost two court cases in May challenging Democrats' efforts to obtain other information about Trump’s finances from Deutsche Bank and Capital One, as well as the accounting firm Mazars USA. In both cases, federal judges rejected similar arguments the administration made contending Democrats do not have a legitimate reason for demanding the records. The administration is appealing both decisions.
Neal asked the court for a speedy decision, reminding it that sessions of Congress only run two years. “Although the identity of that individual is largely secret within the IRS, it is known to the President or the President’s representative – because the IRS agent is required to meet with one or both at the start of the audit,” the suit says. That raises concerns whether that person “is adequately shielded from undue political interference and pressures.
Some legal experts are skeptical of that argument, noting the courts have long given Congress broad leeway when it comes to its investigations.
