RE: The Left just wants to see if there’s anything they can spin to embarrass the President.
The one motive that was openly stated is the one that Alec Baldwin mused : Trump isn’t really a billionaire.
OK, let’s say he’s just worth a few hundred million, what then?
Tax returns don’t show net worth anyway, it shows how much income, sources of income and deductions.
Trump’s accountants take every available deduction like any good accountant would do

Along the Alex Baldwin line of ‘reasoning’, I think what they’re trying to do is find proof that Trump falsified/lied on net worth statements that he used to get loans from banks ... his properties weren’t/aren’t what he stated they were worth. That was my understanding ...
Per this article, Congress critters are also trying to find evidence of “foreign influence in the U.S. political process” which is cr@p - like that is going to show up in anyone’s tax returns? Anyway, they just KNEW DB had the info they wanted, but DB now has said they don’t (’curses, foiled again!):
