House Democrats seeks Trump tax returns

A House committee has formally asked the IRS to provide six years of President Donald Trump's personal tax returns and the returns for some of his businesses for 2013 through 2018 as Democrats try to shed light on the president's complex financial dealings and potential conflicts of interest. The request by Massachusetts Republican Richard Neal, who heads the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, is the first such demand for a sitting president's tax information in 45 years. Trump told reporters on Wednesday he "would not be inclined" to provide his tax returns to the committee.
