Pelosi says House Democrats will begin process to obtain Trump tax returns

WASHINGTON — Nancy Pelosi said Democrats will begin to seek President Donald Trump's tax returns when they take control of the U.S. House of Representatives in January.

The House Ways and Means Committee will "take the first steps," said Pelosi, who has the backing of her members to become the next speaker of the U.S. House in January.

"There is popular demand for the Congress to request the president's tax returns," she said, speaking to reporters. "I'm sure the White House will resist, so the question is where do we go from there."

"So where would we go from there?" sounds to me like "but, we probably won't succeed, bummer".

Not what I wanna hear, personally.

that he needs to begin preparation for resignation.

He needs something to wake his ass up as he's operating publicly at least, as if the walls aren't closing in on him when everyone else knows it's all coming to an end.
