Dems mark Trump tax returns as key part of agenda

House Democrats want to get their hands on President Trump’s tax returns, and plan to make the issue a key part of their agenda upon taking the majority next year.

A provision in the federal tax code gives the chairs of the congressional panels with jurisdiction on tax policy the ability to request tax returns from the Treasury Department.

That means the Democratic chair of the House Ways and Means Committee will have the authority in January to demand Trump’s tax returns.

“What we’re doing here is doing our duty as a legislative branch of government, by checking the potential, possible conflicts of interest in the executive branch of government,” Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, told The Hill on Thursday.

This is what the Democratic Party is good at. So, kick some ass. Seems like a good place to start. And pretty much stream lining the money laundering that gets people in trouble with the law. It will be interesting. Like he says. A "big" business.
