By Washington Post Staff April 3 at 6:20 PM Rep. Richard Neal , chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said Congress has a duty to conduct oversight of “our voluntary Federal tax system and determine how Americans – including those elected to our highest office – are complying with those laws.”
President Trump has refused to provide his tax returns, and in a break from other presidential candidates, never released his returns.
Everyone in government should have the same treatment!
Good in accordance with constitution and as per IRS rules. Regulations etc!!! FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!
Obvious act of desperation to get the president after the Muller disappointment. Bound to fail!
it's none of your business or anybody else's business what Trump's tax returns are just like they don't see yours in mine
Zzzzzzzzz
realDonaldTrump cannot be allowed to break U.S. law by refusing to give Congress his tax returns. If the Supreme Court sides with him then it proves they do not respect the laws of our country.
Seriously? This is what Dems took the House for, to bog down the country for two years of this crap? Trump is an idiot, we all know that, let the voters decide in 2020. Try to do something to run the country, not make it a non stop partisan attack.
It’s illegal. Why aren’t U reporting that fact&truth?
Get OUT
Trump
During the campaign 45 said he would release his returns wen audit was over. This is the longest audit in american history, or he lied. Which is more likely?
Why hasn’t it’s contents leaked? Surely there’s some liberal with TDS that would do the illegal dirty work.
Let's see ALL Politicians tax returns for the last 10 years!! And why not

WAPO doesn't seem to find this intimidation tactic chilling. Let's be sure to remember their reaction when a liberal Democrat business owner seeks the presidency.
More time and tax wasting.
The treasury already said, they would not allow this to happen. Because if they allowed this to be done to Trump, they would be unable to stop anyone from getting peoples tax returns. But good luck...see you in court.
They need to ask six years before he became president, so it will be ten years.
Wonderful about time.
Good.
Here we go again. Lets add this to the ever growing list of things the Democratic party has done in effort to unseat our great President. Note to our POTUS , please start investigating everyone from the previous admin. Lets start serving Karma ! God, save us from the Dems !
Apparently TheDemocrats didn’t get enough of using the irs for political purposes enough under Obama.
Can't wait for the reaction from people that didn't understand how their withholding impacted their refunds
ONLY six
Meanwhile at Trump HQ:
My my, how far we have fallen. Tax returns... you have him now ...
One man against the whole empire of Democrats and the crazy partisan media, and he is still standing, Trump must have special Powers from who knows where
What's the point? What are they trying to prove? What's the charge? What are they hoping to find? Why can't they just leave the damn man alone?
realDonaldTrump Funny how he makes fun of EVERYONE but can't show his taxes cuz he's a fraud an liar.SOON EVERYONE WILL SEE
'OK, I laundered billions of dollars for Russian oligarchs, but it's all very legal and very cool.'
I want to see 6 years of taxes for every democrat elected official. Why would they be exempt from this, bring them on.
Taxes? Where's that russian collusion you promised?
Why? Will we see the taxes of every member of congress as well?
aliasvaughn And watch for Trumplosion in 10 ... 9 .... 8 ... 7 ...
Yes! Our votes mattered.
This is gonna turn out like Russian collusion. RIP left sanity.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal made the request in a letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig. Neal sought broad details about Trump’s personal tax returns from 2013-2018 — including whether the returns are or have been under audit.
And on to the next obsession.
“A request the president has already said he will fight.” Hey realDonaldTrump, how many times did you promise the American people you’d release your tax returns? WhatIsTrumpHiding
I say make every Politician turn over their tax records then.
Well holy sht, its about time...
Good
Oops!
There is nothing that says a President is required to show his tax returns, nothing. It's only the last few Presidents that have done it.
Amusing seeing nonlawyers comment on the 4th amendment like this is some kind of unconstitutional search. 😂 The internal revenue code contains the answers you seek. 😄
Oversight of his being alive before the Presidency? Trump was in compliance with the IRS there is no probable cause.
Trump is always behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve, riding the wave, dodging the bullet and pushing the envelope. on-point, on-task and on-message. Orange man bad
Translation: sign in the window ...we're going fishing....
We need to Stop THEM
Hahhaa. This is delicious!
They are well within their rights by law..Dept of Treasury must turn them over
Good luck with that. He'll quit before anyone gets to see how rich he's not, just rich with debt.
Another firework. Don't they have any real issues to deal with? Real USA problems?
Politicians who have been taking bribes for yeeeeeeears by selling our votes 🤣
An odd and questionable as to the Constitutionality request. The IRS is the oversight body here. How strange? We do need to audit the IRS and the Fed, however. THAT would be interesting! And, actually has to do with our security as a nation.
Finally.
I like this question for any political candidate running for office. Part of a general background check.
Another fishing expedition by Dem
Because that's entirely their business. Maybe we should start looking into all of THEIR financial dealings...
