The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) order last week to release former President Donald Trump’s tax returns to a congressional committee appears to be purely political and sets a dangerous precedent, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said.
In 2019, the department said the returns didn’t have to be given to Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, because Neal was “disingenuous” about the true purpose of seeking the returns.
