WASHINGTON Lawyers for former President Donald Trump urged a federal judge late Tuesday to block the Treasury Department and the IRS from giving his tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee.
Trump's taxes have long been the Democrats' "white whale," the lawyers said.
The reason given by the committee chairman, Rep. Richard Neal, for seeking the returns, to examine how the IRS audits presidents, is simply a pretext for wanting to search for something embarrassing, they told the federal judge.
The committee sued the Treasury Department when it refused to hand over the returns during the Trump administration. But the Biden administration changed positions and agreed to provide the returns, so the committee sought to dismiss the lawsuit. Trump and his companies then intervened, seeking to block the release.

As the right likes to put it: If you've done nothing wrong what do you have to fear?

I really wish someone in the IRS would leak the damn things and the NY Times would just print them - ALL of them.

(415 posts)I doubt if Trump has ever been embarrassed by his crimes. He feels something bordering on compulsive inadequacy, especial regarding his so-called business acumen and his sexual behavior.
