- The Democrat-controlled House Ways and Committee has been given access to former President Trump’s tax returns, the Treasury Department said Wednesday.
- The move by the agency ends Democrats’ multiyear legal battle to obtain the documents.
- A Treasury Department spokesperson said the agency complied with the Supreme Court’s order last week rejecting Trump’s emergency appeal to stop the handover.
- House Democrats had argued that they needed to probe the IRS’s presidential audits, after Trump in 2016 broke with the tradition of presidential candidates releasing their tax returns.
- Trump’s attorneys in response argued the request was merely political.
