1 December 2022 at 02:44 Congressional committee has received Trump’s tax papers The US Department of the Treasury states that the tax papers of former President Donald Trump have been handed over to the control committee in Congress. The Supreme Court last week unanimously rejected Trump’s latest appeal to prevent the Justice Department from releasing documents relating to his and some of his companies’ taxes over the past six years. During the 2016 election campaign, Trump refused to publish his tax documents, as all presidential candidates have done for many years. It was only after a year-long legal battle that the committee finally gained access to the information. Trump accuses the committee of being politically motivated. The committee which will now scrutinize the papers will, among other things, deal with questions about tax legislation. (NTB-AP)
