Unless a federal court blocks the DOJ’s legal finding, more than six years of Trump’s tax returns will be handed to House investigators
The Democratic-led House Ways and Means Committee sued the Treasury Department and the IRS in 2019 after then-treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin ignored subpoenas for Trump to hand over six years of both personal and business returns.
“As I have maintained for years, the Committee’s case is very strong and the law is on our side. I am glad that the Department of Justice agrees and that we can move forward,” committee chair Rep. Richard Neal said in a statement. Unless a federal court blocks the DOJ’s legal finding then over six years of Trump’s tax returns will be handed to House investigators. But, according to the, Trump can challenge the opinion in federal court, which could take months to decide. And, because the Ways and Means Committee has its own rules regarding the protection of sensitive tax information, there is a chance Trump’s taxes will not become public any time soon.
