Senate Finance Committee Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) says that any effort by lawmakers to obtain and disclose President Donald Trump’s tax records ahead of the election could violate the U.S. tax code.

Grassley implied that any action by his panel to obtain Trump’s tax records now might be seen as more politically motivated than having any legislative purpose.
