Congress takes first step to find out what Trump's hiding in his taxes

[ffr]

A Thursday hearing sets the stage for Congress to request Trump’s tax returns, and potentially expose wrongdoing and foreign influence.

The Ways and Means Oversight subcommittee is hosting a panel of experts to discuss tax law, including provisions in H.R. 1 that would require Trump to release 10 years of tax returns.

The Washington Post describes the hearing as a “crucial first step” toward the goal of obtaining Trump’s taxes. Proponents of the provisions say the law is necessary for Congress to conduct proper oversight, as required by the constitution.

The leaders of the organization Americans for Tax Fairness argue that Trump’s tax returns could show anything from Trump’s using fraud to cheat on his taxes, to undue foreign influence from Russia.
