“I had zero borrowings from the estate,” Donald Trump told me back in 2004. “I give you my word.”

That wasn’t true, of course.

As Trump’s tax returns show, he was kept afloat for years by his father’s money. And he still managed to mess up things. https://t.co/zLPtgTPWpw

Yeah, no. There is no such law.

An obscure 1924 law gives the House Ways and Means Committee the power to REQUEST tax returns from the Treasury Department to review in CLOSED session. Meaning not disclosed. Separation of powers issues,can NOT force the Dept. of Treasury to hand over the president’s tax returns.

And even then you would have to have a legislative purpose. Opposition research for 2020 is not a sufficient legistlative purpose.
