Treasury must provide Congress with Trump s tax returns, Justice Department says in legal opinion
The U.S. Treasury Department must turn over former President Donald Trump’s tax returns to Congress because it has provided facially valid reasons for the request, according to an opinion released Friday by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel.
The opinion reverses a previous determination by the office that the returns should not be disclosed, report Law.com and the Washington Post.
The new opinion cites the Internal Revenue Code, which says the Treasury secretary “shall” provide tax return information to any of three congressional committees upon written request.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department on Friday ordered the Internal Revenue Service to hand over former President Donald Trump’s tax returns to a House of Representatives committee, saying the panel has offered “sufficient reasons” for requesting the material.
The department’s Office of Legal Counsel reversed course and declared that the department erred in 2019 when Trump was still in office when it found that the request for his taxes by the Democratic-led House Ways and Means Committee was based on a “disingenuous” objective aimed at exposing them to the public.
