WASHINGTON - Nancy Pelosi said Democrats will begin to seek President Donald Trump’s tax returns - a move likely to prompt outrage from the White House - when they take control of the U.S. House of Representatives in January.
The House Ways and Means Committee will “take the first steps,” said Pelosi, who has the backing of her members to become the next speaker of the House in January.
“There is popular demand for the Congress to request the president’s tax returns,” she said, speaking to reporters. “I’m sure the White House will resist, so the question is where do we go from there.”

Nancy Pelosi.....the fresh, young face of today’s Democrat Party!
Nancy brings her hip, cool style of problem solving to the House!
“Republicans are bad! Has anybody seen my Preparation H?”
Everything is groovy!
“I remember when they used to put bananas in the jello. We need bananas in our jello. I demand that there be bananas in the jello. The Republicans are picking out the bananas in my jello!”
“...The fickle American people who gave the democrats return of the house should be exported to Venezuela.....”
Most of those seats were outright stolen, or deliberately flipped, by the UniParty.
Then, there’s the mini-van driving soccer moms all across the fruited plain that voted for them because they looked good and sounded good....morons, and BTW, Venezuela is waaayyy too good for em.
Right after you turn over your Husband’s business records Nan...
All it takes is the right judge.
And the income tax return revelation “requirement” statute is———————— How about you pony up yours nan
They’ll probably audit the White House.
Seems to fall under the category of bill of attainder or unreasonable search. I know, the Constitution is only supposed to be dusted off and used when needed to achieve some political end.
“They can request all they like, but there’s no law that says he has to show them.”
Correct.
However, there is a law on the books that allows the House to subpoena the tax returns from the IRS of any US filer. For any purpose the House chooses.
By which legal basis will you achieve your goal, Nancy?
I guarantee that if Trump did anything illegal with taxes, the IRS would've been all over him years ago.
You first, Nancy, you corrupt whore. Same goes for Feinstein.
Did you mean Fickly “American” vote counters and manipulators?
The only amazing thing about this is that the Dems don’t already have them.
I believe that when this idea came up before the election (they’ve been talking about doing this for some time) that the chairman of the committee that deals with taxation has the power to request the tax returns of anyone. Don’t know if the IRS is required to honor the request. I am assuming the person in charge of IRS works for President Trump, doesn’t he/she?
“...How about you pony up yours, nan....”
Exactly. Let the “unwashed masses” see just how much you really pay your Samoan slaves. Let’s see how much income you declare versus what you get under the lobbyist table. Nan, are you sure you want to open this “pandora’s box”?
All it takes is the right judge.
it’s another escalation. Eventually, in true democratic fashion, they will escalate things too far.
Yup because she knows she’s untouchable.
Is it too late for the current House to grab Pelosi’s and the other Dim leaders?
Laws? Democrats don't follow no stinkin' laws.
