Republicans Rage Against Potential Disclosure Of Trump Tax Returns

House Republicans are furious that Democrats have obtained and might release copies of former president Donald Trump’s tax returns.

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), standing with more than a dozen of his colleagues at a press conference Tuesday, said that if Democrats publicize Trump’s taxes, they will “jeopardize the right of every American to be protected from political targeting by Congress.”
But Brady, the top Republican on the House committee that obtained Trump’s tax information, declined to say that those in his party would not also take advantage of tax disclosure laws to obtain and release private tax information.

“We’re not going to speculate on what our actions will be,” Brady said in response to a reporter’s question. “What we know for certain is the Democrats [are] unleashing a dangerous new weapon that’s going to have severe consequences.”
In fact, Democrats aren’t exactly doing that. Since 1924, certain congressional committees have had the same power as the president to ask the Treasury Department for anybody’s tax returns. Both Republicans and Democrats have used that authority in recent years.

Republicans in 2014 wielded the same disclosure powers that Democrats are using now as part of an investigation into the IRS allegedly mistreating conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. The Republicans wound up publishing private tax information related to some of the organizations as an attachment to a letter urging the Justice Department to prosecute an IRS official.

I feel there should be a law that says they have to show tax records or you can't run for any government position in office an the IRS has to sign off that it's not fraudulent papers

I think all presidential candidates should release their tax returns, as well as general information on all their financial holdings and debts in the interests of transparency to potential voters. That being said, the House releasing these tax returns now seems like a vindictive and political move. If they want disclosure to be the norm, draft federal legislation that requires it. That way you’re not singling anyone out.

Christmas is a magical season of hope. It brings people together like no other time of the year. It gives us a moment to catch our breath, it step away from the complexities of our bustling modern world and to reaffirm the important things in life. As you reflect on days gone by and look forward to all your bright tomorrows I hope that you find peace and contentment and that you carry the spirit of Christmas with you... always.

Unknown, but guys in his tax bracket get audited like every three years so it seems really stupid. Probably nothing illegal, but I suspect he is worth far less than he says and that his ego won't let him admit it. He also probably pays less in taxes as a % than the average American due to shelters and losses and he does not want his fan base seeing that he is not the financial wizard he claims to be. It also would not surprise if he gives a miniscule % of his income to charity.
