The Time Is Overdue for Trump To Release Tax Returns

Welcome

WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 28: (AFP OUT) U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media during a meeting with congressional leadership in the Roosevelt Room at the White House on November 28, 2017 in Washington, DC. Trump spoke on the recent intercontinental ballistic missile launch by North Korea. Democratic leaders Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, and Re. Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, skipped the meeting with President Trump.

The tax bill may be a triumph for Donald Trump, but it is also reigniting the call for the President to release his own tax returns.


The talking point for the White House hasn’t changed on this, Trump and his associates insist he can’t release his tax returns because they are under audit. It is a line that is clearly frustrating some in the White House press room, Tuesday one reporter challenged press secretary Sarah Sanders on the issue.

The problem with Sanders statement is that the IRS has said, “Nothing prevents individuals from sharing their own tax information.”

Reporters need to keep pressing the White House for the release of the returns, BUT the Congress and Senate should lead the charge on this.


In the meantime since Trump clearly isn’t releasing his tax returns, a millionaire decided to release his to show how the GOP plan favors the rich.
