House Committee Releases Trump Tax Returns

The Democratic-led House Ways and Means committee released six years of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns on Friday

marking the culmination of a nearly four-year investigation and a bruising legal battle that made it to the Supreme Court.

Trump fought vigorously to keep the returns a secret, and their release comes as he seeks a second term in the White House amid headwinds from even those within his own party.

The cache published Friday includes Trump’s personal tax returns from 2015 to 2020, the years he was either running for or was president.

The Ways and Means Committee obtained the records after a lengthy investigation they said recently was centered on the failure of the Internal Revenue Service to audit Trump during his first two years in office in violation of their own policy.

Two reports published by the Ways and Means Committee earlier this month revealed that Trump for years paid little or no taxes as he claimed massive business losses.

The tax returns have been of interest to Democrats since Trump announced his candidacy for president.
