The decision paves the way for the IRS to hand over Donald Trump’s tax records to congressional investigators – a move he has long fought.

Former US president Donald Trump suffered twin setbacks on Friday, local time, when the Justice Department cleared the way to release his tax records and disclosed a memo showing he urged top officials last year to falsely claim his election defeat was “corrupt”.

“Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen,” Trump, referring to Republican lawmakers, told Jeffrey Rosen in a December 27 phone call days before Rosen was appointed as acting attorney-general. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, welcomed the department’s action, saying access to the documents represents “a matter of national security”.

And Trump fumed throughout the week in a series of statements as a bipartisan agreement on Biden’s $US1 trillion infrastructure bill advanced in the Senate. Trump failed as president to get infrastructure legislation through Congress.

He took advantage of a corrupt political and financial system created by the likes of Biden and Co. over decades. He has never claimed otherwise. So what is this supposed to prove exactly?

Trump is walking around free after inciting an attack on the US Capitol but somehow his tax returns are going to be the end of him?

I think I've read this headline like 10 times. Believe it when I see it.
