The fight for Congress to obtain President Trump’s tax returns centers on one question: Is Congress requesting them for a legislative reason? But members of Congress can’t request someone’s tax returns just because they want to. So what legislation is Congress going to introduce, or consider introducing, based on Trump’s tax returns? Did Democrats decide they wanted to get Trump’s tax returns and craft a legislative reason around it? And the thrust of this debate will be whether they have a legitimate legislative reason to request the tax returns.
