An Unprecedented New Lawsuit Could Force Trump to Release His Tax Returns
(In fact, 74 percent of Americans want to see Trump’s tax returns, according to a recent ABC/Washington Post poll. Four in 10 say they care “a lot” about the issue.) Then, the door was slammed firmly shut on Sunday, two days after the inauguration, when Trump’s senior adviser Kellyanne Conway flatly told ABC’s The Week that it’s not going to happen. “The White House response is that he’s not going to release his tax returns,” she said. “We litigated this all through the election. People didn’t care. They voted for him.”
Congressman: Rarely used law could make Trump tax returns public
Trump is violating the “emoluments clause” of the Constitution, which bars federal officials from receiving gifts or other things of value from foreign governments. He raised that issue in a Feb. 1 letter to Brady.
We know that state-owned enterprises in China and the United Arab Emirates are involved in his businesses, and that his business ties stretch to India, Turkey and the Philippines and beyond,” Pascrell wrote. “Russia, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan may also have ties to his businesses.”
Trump on not releasing tax returns: 'I won'
------------------------------------
Because Trump refused to distance himself from his businesses, he is possibly open to investigation under the “emoluments clause” of the Constitution. He might as well get it over with. Because the first time the Democrats control the House, we will find out the truth. Is Trump a Russian Poodle? Are Republicans really protecting him from that claim? If they feel so strongly about it, put up or shut up. Are they afraid of the truth, whatever that is?
