House Democrats filed a lawsuit Tuesday in federal court seeking access to President Trump’s tax returns, accusing the Trump administration of an “extraordinary attack” on Congress in preventing the disclosure of the president’s personal financial records.
Rep. Richard E. Neal (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, filed the lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department after months of feuding with the administration over the returns.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, who have denied Democrats’ demands for the returns, are named as defendants.

But there is no good reason that justify their demand, that is why they were turned down before.
Uh, DENIED! ZERO merit.
Not even the POTUS is above the law, so since he’s trying to be above the law by hiding all the evidence of his crimes, he shouldn’t have equal protection under it./s
The Dems have had an unprecedented attack on the Republican Presidential Candidate, the Republican President-Elect, and a sitting and duly elected Republican President. The "extraordinary attack" is from Congressional Democrat Activists as part of the Never Trump/Resistance Movement and could be deemed Constitutional Interference.
Aaaa ... just something “new” to appease the whacked-out base ...
The ‘Rats have veery screwed up priorities.
Yes, that is it. They are totally dedicated to saving their insane America-hating base of losers.
They can’t stand they were denied a fishing license.
Gee. I wonder what the grounds for this are. Trump is used to frivolous lawsuits.
Dismissed.
Just a guess.

I suspect the evil Rachel Maddow is behind this. :)
Border crisis, health care still screwed up, some of our largest cities rife with crime, Iran seeking to build nukes....
NOPE! Sue the President to see his tax returns.
The democrats and all who share their values are too stupid to be ashamed.
Some judge needs to hold Nancy Pelosi in contempt.
Whats worse is the the dems have an unlimited budget to harass Trump in this way. Paid for by you and me.
They are also evil.
The law is on Trump’s side, but the judge might not be. I’m sure they’ll get an anti-Trump one.
Like the Pharisees that got the woman in adultery, they forgot the man. If the R’s are to be scrutinized, also the D’s.
They don’t know the word NO they’ll just shop around for a friendly judge!
When is someone going to sue congress to get their tax returns?
Oh give it up.
Quote the law that states: Every President must provide their full Tax returns for the last X years.
I think all Senators should provide theirs first and foremost.
