1. Can anyone one explain why House Democrats haven’t requested Donald Trump’s tax returns yet?

I cannot figure it out.

The point of taking back the House was to use that power to bring some basic transparency and accountability to Trump

2. The new chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Richard Neal, has the unqualified authority to request Trump’s returns from the Treasury Department.

The committee can then vote to make them public

But Neal is still “studying” the issue popular.info/p/taxing-our-p…
3. The really strange thing is that Democrats, including Neal, voted unanimously to force Trump to turn over his returns to the committee TWO YEARS AGO.

They were thwarted by the Republicans.

Now that they have the power, all of a sudden it’s too soon popular.info/p/taxing-our-p…
4. Keep in mind Trump promised to release his returns. And every major candidate for the last 40 years has done so.

This is not a radical step. But Democrats are inexplicably cautious.
