Washington (CNN) A freshman Democrat and law professor said Monday she believes Congress has the know-how to review President Donald Trump's tax returns after White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Congress is not "smart enough" to review them. "I'll take that bet any time," California Democratic Rep. Katie Porter told CNN's Ana Cabrera. Porter's comment was in response to Sanders, who called the attempts from Democrats in Congress to obtain Trump's tax information "a disgusting overreach" on Sunday and argued the sitting members of Congress would not be smart enough to review the returns if they get them. "I don't think Congress, particularly not this group of congressmen and women, are smart enough to look through the thousands of pages that I would assume that President Trump's taxes will be," Sanders said. The back-and-forth over Trump's taxes added to the broader dispute between the Trump administration and House Democrats, who have sought to obtain the tax returns.
