House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pledged Thursday that Congress will obtain -- and release -- President Trump's tax returns if Joe Biden wins the November election.
"When we win this election, and we have a new president of the United States in January, and we have a new secretary of the treasury, and [Rep.] Richard Neal asks for the president's returns, then the world will see what the president has been hiding all of this time," Pelosi said during a news conference.
Trump has refused to make his tax returns public, breaking a modern-day precedent set by other presidents over the past four decades. He is currently waging a last-minute legal battle trying to stop Manhattan prosecutors from obtaining his returns and other financial documents.
A federal judge rejected Trump's attempt to stop the Manhattan district attorney's subpoena last week; the president's legal team has appealed the decision.

Oh boy! That’s really gonna pick up Biden is failing basement campaign isn’t it?
Ain’t gonna happen, b*tch.
How does she know what those returns show? I would love to see her tax returns!
Is this supposed to rally the Demtard base?
Is this all they’ve got? That they’ll continue to harass President Trump long after he’s left office? What a shameful and pathetic value proposition for voting in Gropey demented Joe Biteme.
The whole damn party, what a bunch of losers. Stupid, angry, hateful, ugly...
What would be the point other than to prove you are a vindictive witch?
What would be the point, Witchypoo?
Get help Nancy.
Oh, yes.Trumps taxes will surely make voters forget that whole no debates thing.
And if you vote for Biden, we’ll throw in a handsome set of BLM placemats.
What, exactly, is the point of releasing Trump’s tax return if he is not President?
If Trump is a private citizen, I believe Nancy would be breaking the law as well (26 U.S. Code § 6103 - Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information).
Not a day goes by when this dipshit makes another idiotic remark.
She should be in jail over the minimum wage/Samoa thing.
Really Nancy? Literally the world is on fire and THIS is what you worry about?
I want to see Pelosi’s tax returns.
She’s accumulated an awful lot of wealth for someone on a congress critter’s salary...
Hush. You aren’t supposed to have enough brains to notice that!
Someone married that old hag?
As of late when she is on tv she does seem like something is wrong with her. She stutters and can’t speak well and forgets what she was saying.
And....... that would be a Felony, Speaker Pelosi.
