Democrats will decide this week whether to release former President Donald Trump’s tax returns publicly after a multiyear process to obtain them.
Lawmakers on the House Ways and Means Committee will meet in private on Tuesday to discuss the content of the returns and make a decision on what to do with them. Chairman Richard Neal has already received the documents and granted Rep. Kevin Brady access to them ahead of the Tuesday closed-door session, according to Politico.
Democrats have been using the legal system to try and obtain the returns for more than three years. Neal had requested the documents under a law that provides the Ways and Means Committee with the authority to obtain taxpayer records. Republicans have trashed Democrats’ attempt to reveal details of Trump’s tax returns, branding the move as a political stunt that sets a bad precedent. Brady, the top Republican on the committee, said in a statement that Democrats are unleashing a “political weapon” that “jeopardizes the privacy of every American.”
Trump has used his social media platform Truth Social to lash out against the Democratic plan to release his tax information. On Sunday, he said there isn’t much that can be learned from tax returns, adding, “but it is illegal to release them if they are not yours!”
