Former President Donald Trump’s federal income tax returns and those of Trump business entities must be turned over to the House Ways and Means Committee, a federal appeals court panel said in a ruling Tuesday.
The 3-0 decision is the latest legal blow to Trump, who has repeatedly lost efforts in federal and state courts to shield his closely guarded tax returns and business-related documents from various investigations. Trump has argued that all of those probes are politically motivated.
...
Tuesday’s ruling applies to Trump’s returns for the tax years 2015 through 2020. But the appeals court said that its decision mandating the disclosure of the returns is on hold until seven days after the disposition of any potential petition by Trump seeking to overturn the ruling.
Trump is likely to ask the full lineup of judges on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to re-hear the case or to directly petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal of the ruling.
Yes - it is politically motivated. Pretty obvious after six years of yapping at his heels. Six years of this...
The FBI can pick them up while doing their current "house cleaning".
I'm sure the deep state has had Trump's tax returns for a long time. They were probably stolen when the Democrats were illegally spying on Trump and his campaign.
A big nothing burger for now, but payback will be glorious after the midterms.
Reminds me of when dumbass Harry Reid nuked the judicial filibuster, giving the SCOTUS a 6-3 majority several years later. These liberals just aren't very bright.
If Trump hadn't paid his taxes, I'm sure the IRS would have been all over it.
What is he hiding? He promised to release them in 2016, and yet here he is, six years later, still fighting it. To paraphrase you: No need for [Trump] to be worried, if [he's] done nothing wrong, right?
Obviously you are worried or you wouldn't care so much about this. As is Trump.
Most likely they will find that he has some very smart accountants who take advantage of every tax "loophole". The same "loopholes" that Congress puts into the tax code. Of course, now that Trump took advantage of them, it becomes a criminal act to the Democrats, who very likely have taken advantage of many a "loophole" themselves.
I am sure that as soon as the Democrats have them, they will be "leaked" all over the Internet and we will have the usual set of people saying "Now we got him"
