If Democrats win control of the House in November they will finally have the votes to force an issue they’ve been hammering for nearly two years: Making President Donald Trump disclose his tax returns. Since Trump took office, Democrats have forced 11 votes in the House of Representatives to require that the IRS hand over Trump’s returns. “You’re damn right” Democrats will vote to get Trump’s tax returns if they win a majority in November, said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.). Trump was the first major-party presidential nominee to refuse to disclose his tax returns since Richard Nixon and is the first president to refuse to disclose his tax returns (again, since Nixon). Mike Stone / Reuters Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) challenged Trump to release his tax returns in a Republican presidential debate in 2016.
