Tax returns of Donald Trump must be turned over to congressional committee, appeals court rules
Donald Trump
In the United States, a federal appeals court on Tuesday (August 9) ruled that the tax returns of former President Donald Trump must be turned over to the House Ways and Means Committee.
It appears to be another victory for the congressional committee but the 3-0 decision from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals is likely to be appealed.
According to a statement from the committee’s Twitter account, "The DC Court of Appeals has just ruled that the law is on our side in seeking Trump’s tax returns. We expect to receive the requested tax returns and audit files immediately."
