In an abuse of power, Democrats illegally obtained and leaked President Trump’s personal tax returns.
On Tuesday, Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee voted to release several years’ worth of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns, in a move that has not been seen before.

The committee’s decision came after its chairman, Richard Neal (D-MA), began a lengthy legal battle in 2019 to obtain Trump’s tax returns.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently denied Trump’s request to block an appeals court order requiring him to turn over his tax returns and financial information to the committee.
The Ways and Means Committee met in a closed-door session for more than three hours before voting along party lines, 24-16, to release Trump’s tax records.
It is unclear when or how the tax records will be released, but the committee stated that there will be two days to redact sensitive information before anything is made public.
Trump’s spokesperson, Steven Cheung, criticized the committee’s decision and accused Democrats of “playing a political game.”
The top Republican on the committee, Kevin Brady (R-TX), warned that the committee’s decision could have serious consequences and could be used as a “dangerous new political weapon” to target political enemies.
The Ways and Means Committee’s decision to release Trump’s tax returns comes shortly before the GOP is set to take control of the committee when they regain the House majority in January.
A U.S. District Judge also cautioned against the public disclosure of Trump’s tax returns, stating that it is a “grave offense” and previous committee chairmen have wisely avoided using the law to make individuals’ returns public.

However, could this outrageous precedent haunt Democrats?
You know what's funny?.... The Trump tax returns are going to be the biggest nothingburger story of the year.
