Yes, and Trump has the executive privilege and control of the Treasury Department.Who has the information, have you asked yourself that yet? Do you honestly think that the information will be released before the SCOTUS rules on it?All of your far right wing extremists who believe that the information won't be released ignored my post where I stated that the judge refused to put a stay on it until the appeal.
That means that the information will be released while the appeal is moving through the courts.
So it's a waste of time for that appeal since the judge refused to put a stay on the release.
Sorry but trump loses again.
Read the article at the link below. The fact that there will be no stay is the second paragraph.

BTW, you do know that Congress has no right to his tax records? Please don't spout oversight, because you obviously don't know what your talking about.
The Congress is entitled to oversight for what the President has done WHILE IN OFFICE. Tax records from decades past do NOT qualify.
That is how this just screwed up. In fact, this judge needs to be standing before the BAR answer questions on why his law license should not be suspended.
btw - the House Ways and Means Committee the power to request tax returns from the Treasury Department for review in closed session.
check the law ...
Congress has questionable authority to seek his tax returns for the time he has been in office, but none for when he was private citizen.
The Internal Revenue Code contains a lengthy section that generally protects the confidentiality of tax returns/return information and prohibits their disclosure by government employees. The provision Rep. Neal is using is a specific statutory exception from that disclosure prohibition. That exception says that the secretary of the Treasury (or his delegate) “shall furnish” the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee with any tax return or return information requested in writing.
