WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for the imminent handover of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns to a congressional committee after a three-year legal fight.
It was the former president’s second loss at the Supreme Court in as many months, and third this year. In October, the court refused to step into the legal fight surrounding the FBI search of Trump’s Florida estate that turned up classified documents. Lower courts agreed that the committee has broad authority to obtain tax returns and rejected Trump’s claims that it was overstepping and only wanted the documents so they could be made public.
He also said: “Why would anybody be surprised that the Supreme Court has ruled against me, they always do!” The House Ways and Means panel first requested Trump’s tax returns in 2019 as part of an investigation into the Internal Revenue Service’s audit program and tax law compliance by the former president. A federal law says the Internal Revenue Service “shall furnish” the returns of any taxpayer to a handful of top lawmakers.

You all think this a 'gotcha' moment. It's not. Trump has nothing to hide. It's a trap. So his taxes made it all the way to the supreme court & they said we can look at his taxes. The precedent is now set. That means we can now look at Nancy Pelosi's, Feinstein, Omar's taxes.
