Given the reality that Trump has been smart enough (and devious) in staffing Treasury and the IRS with his personal stooges (NOT really public servants)....access to Trump's tax returns will be a tough challenge.

Here's the synopsis.....
Congress has multiple reasons to obtain and review President Trump’s tax returns—reasons that are not only legitimate uses of its legislative powers, but also urgently needed, including:
- To determine if U.S. national security is at risk of being compromised by the president’s financial conflicts of interest
- To determine if Trump has conflicts of interests bearing on his trade and tariffs policies
- To determine whether the president is violating the U.S. Constitution by receiving benefits from foreign countries without Congress’ consent
- To determine whether he is benefiting from his tax policies despite his many public assertions to the contrary
- To determine whether the IRS is adequately auditing the president
- To inform the consideration of additional disclosure requirements for candidates and officeholders
