The 6 big questions we may now get answered on Donald Trump's taxes
CNN
We're going to see Donald Trump's taxes. Or, to be totally clear about it, we are very likely to see the former president's taxes -- following a Friday ruling by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel's office that said that the returns must be turned over to Congress.
"The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President's tax information," read the opinion, which is the latest development in a two-year fight between the Trump administration and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal over the billionaire businessman's tax returns. While Trump's lawyers will no doubt fight the Justice Department ruling, the chances of Congress getting its hands on Trump's returns went WAY up last Friday. And because Congress is Congress, if it gets the returns, you can be certain that some (or all) of the information in them will find its way into the public eye.
