House Democrat Demands Six Years of Trump Tax Returns From I.R.S.
WASHINGTON — The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, using a little-known provision in the federal tax code, formally requested on Wednesday that the I.R.S. hand over six years of President Trump’s personal and business tax returns, starting what is likely to be a momentous fight with his administration.
Representative Richard E. Neal, Democrat of Massachusetts, hand-delivered a two-page letter laying out the request to Charles P. Rettig, the Internal Revenue Service commissioner, ending months of speculation about when he would do so and almost certainly prompting a legal challenge from the Trump administration.
Responding to questions from reporters in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump suggested that he would fight the request because, he said, he was being audited.
“I guess when you have a name, you are audited, but until such time as I’m not under audit I would not be inclined to do that,” he said.

Not sure if this has already been reported on DU yet tonight. This is big - 10 years of Chump's tax returns will go to the House Oversight committee as soon as the subpoena hits. The house of cards is collapsing.
