Following the day when the House select committee held its last public hearing and then formally announced multiple criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, CNN's Don Lemon suggested Tuesday the former president is about to face a further blow that could be even worse.

The latest setback for the former president will likely come if the Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee votes on whether to publicly release years of Donald Trump’s tax returns as expected.

According to a CNN report, "The committee has had access to Trump’s taxes for weeks after winning a lengthy legal battle that began in the spring of 2019. House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal requested the first six years of Trump’s taxes as well as tax returns for eight of his businesses back in April of 2019."

After sharing a montage of Trump promising to release his taxes before and during his presidency, Lemon kicked off his segment by stating, "Promises, promises and then -- more excuses. Today, with only two weeks of control left, the Democratic-led house Ways and Means Committee is likely to hold a vote on whether to release several years of the former president's tax returns."

Introducing his guest, Russ Buettner of the New York Times, he added, "You saw the clip that we put on there. Promises, promises, promises and as I said, then more excuses. He's done everything possible to stop people from seeing his tax returns so today could possibly be worse for the former president than even yesterday's criminal referrals from the January 6 committee."

"This is something I think that concerns him the most," Lemon suggested. "His wealth and whether he was accurate about his taxes which will show what he's actually worth."

"I think this really goes to the heart of not only his, how he's presented himself to voters and the public at large, but how he sees himself as well. which is a man of incredible wealth," Buettner replied. "His tax returns, the twenty-years plus worth that we reviewed showed a very different story."
 
Part of me hopes that they do, but the more adult part thinks that it's a bad precedent to release tax info of a now-private individual. It's also unlikely to change what passes for a mind in the MAGAT contingent.

Trump is a crook. That is why he hid his taxes. His return may show who he is, and it is ugly.

Pedo Don hid his taxes from the public, not the IRS....although, like cheating on his taxes in NY, he may have cheated the IRS.

Still, IMO, the main reason Trump "hid his taxes" is that it would be politically embarrassing to him for Americans to see how much money he has invested overseas, especially in Russia, China and North Korea.

Every person who wants to be elected to anything should HAVE TO RELEASE their taxes



He never did


We still should be allowed to see them so it shows he didn’t get away with not showing them

We all saw the one that was rumored to have been provided by one of his ex-wives. He claimed a loss so large he owed very little in taxes. Less, in fact, than what we pay and we're retired.

If they release them, I'm cool with it. Nothing in there though will change the MAGATs' opinion of their #MalignantMessiah.

Exactly. Hence, why Trump hid his taxes.

TBH, forcing Trump to reveal his taxes is purely political. It has nothing to do with justice, the IRS or a crime per se.

OTOH, I favor having all national political leaders be required to reveal their taxes, be drug-tested regularly and a full medical and psych eval. The results should be reviewed by a neutral party and not revealed to the public unless the person allows it. Anything adverse found should be punished or action taken for the good of "We, the People".

Agreed DeSantis is primed to become the leader of the Republican Party.

FWIW, the GOP had been dying for years and Trump killed it off in the 2018 Midterms.
