DOJ: Trump tax documents must go to Congress

The Treasury Department must turn over copies of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns to a congressional committee, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel ruled on Friday.

The 39-page opinion, signed by OLC acting Assistant Attorney General Dawn Johnsen, finds that the executive branch “must give due weight to Congress’s status as a co-equal branch of government” and must “apply a presumption that Legislative Branch officials act in good faith and in furtherance of legitimate objectives.”

The House Ways and Means Committee, the opinion stated, “has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President’s tax information” and the Treasury Department “must furnish the information to the Committee.


Great news! What do you think?
That the democrats in Congress will immediately leak any information from them that they think might be embarrassing to their favorite talking heads on TV.

I think nothing illegal will be found but mysteriously information will be leaked to the media and twisted around for pure politics. Even though that would be illegal, everyone on the left will be shrugging their shoulders and saying they don't know where the leak happened.
