The Justice Department on Friday said the Treasury Department must turn over former President Trump’s long-sought tax returns to the Democratic-led House Ways and Means Committee.

In a memo from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), acting Assistant Attorney General Dawn Johnsen said the Treasury Department was required to defer to the congressional committee.

“The statute at issue here is unambiguous: ‘Upon written request’ of the chairman of one of the three congressional tax committees, the Secretary ‘shall furnish’ the requested tax information to the Committee,” Johnsen wrote in the 39-page memo.

House Ways and Means Committee Chair Richard Neal (D-Mass.) first requested Trump’s personal and business tax returns, and related IRS documents, in 2019. He also subpoenaed former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnunchin and the head of the IRS to secure their release.

The Trump administration refused to comply with the request and subpoenas, prompting the committee to file a lawsuit.

The OLC memo comes on the same day that a court filing is due in the lawsuit. The committee and the Biden administration had been having discussions for several months about the case and said in a filing earlier this month that they would tell the court by July 30 whether they had reached an agreement.

SDNY got his tax returns and could only find that Trump's CFO didn't pay taxes on a company car.

So now the committee gets the tax returns and then what? Lawfare bloggers will say OMB?

That would not be on his personal returns.

But I do find it funny that the government that will put you in jail if you release anything they don't want released... will do the same to a private citizen they don't like.

Release all of Congress’s returns, as well as the hush money fund for wayward members of Congress.

The SDNY have every return the man has filed, of this I can tell you. Trump Inc, Trump personal, Trump's dads from the day he was born

Rachel Maddike already read his returns on her show years ago, The Obama's paid less in taxes.

I mean can we get real? They are looking for checks from Putin as Putin gives the dems $500K for a Slick Willy speech and God knows how much for U1.

100% this and pissed at him for upsetting the applecart.

They're absolutely trying to take their pound of flesh and scare off voters from him.

Frankly, their efforts only make me want to push the button for him in the voting booth.

They should be - especially NOW that it looks likely Trump will enter government again at some point

Well, if the other 50,000 messages didn't make him go away why is this one supposed to work? It's like asking a woman for a date and getting 'no' 20 times and thinking 'Maybe this next time....'

What happens if the house and senate flip.
Should we pull former President Bill Clinton’s tax returns, Hunter Biden’s Tax returns, etc.

They opened up a door that could be a slippery slope for politicians.
