The chair of the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday formally requested the IRS give Congress copies of President Trump’s tax returns over the past six years. Trump is the only major-party presidential nominee in over 40 years not to release tax information to the public. President Trump repeated his claim Wednesday that he’s withholding his tax returns from public view because he’s being audited. Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, recently refuted that claim in congressional testimony. Democrat Dan Kildee, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said Congress was requesting Trump’s tax documents from the IRS because “The president is the only person who can sign bills into law, and the public deserves to know whether the president’s personal financial interests affect his public decision making.”
