In a tweet Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., suggested that House Democrats won't be taking no for an answer in seeking access to President Trump's tax returns. The freshman congresswoman boiled her view of the situation down to the following mock conversation between Congress and the president:"Congress: 'We’re going to need a copy of the President’s tax returns from 2013-2018.' Ocasio-Cortez's tweet referred to the House Ways and Means Committee’s request to the IRS for six years of the president's tax records. HOUSE DEMS RAMP UP EFFORTS TO GET TRUMP’S TAX RETURNS, WILL ‘TAKE ALL NECESSARY STEPS’During the election, Trump broke the long-standing tradition of presidential candidates releasing their tax returns, saying they were under audit. "A young bartender, wonderful young woman.”The president then claimed that longtime Democrats had become "petrified of her."
