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.
