Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) on Sept. 28 called for an investigation into the source of a report published on Sept. 27 that claimed President Donald Trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017.

In a statement, Brady, the top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, said there’s the “prospect” of a felony crime in the leaking of the president’s tax information to The New York Times, which published the report.
