House Democrats seeking President Trump’s tax returns aim to investigate whether his Bedminster, N.J., golf club broke the law in a way that would mirror one of the first political scandals of Bill Clinton’s administration.

Trump’s golf course reportedly employed multiple workers who immigrated to the U.S. illegally and hid their status. In doing so, it may have failed to pay payroll taxes, a violation of the law.

The same issue tripped up the nomination of Clinton’s first attorney general pick, Zoe Baird. Baird, the first female nominee for attorney general, hired two illegal immigrants as domestic workers and failed to pay payroll taxes for their labor.

The golf course's handling of payroll taxes one of the myriad of issues congressional Democrats say they want to unpack with their demand for Trump's tax returns, issued this week.

They don't give a crap if he broke the law or not, all they want is to make political hay off the headline.

What a complete abuse of power and corruption of our institutions and form of govt laid down by the Constitution.

Was he the sole owner of the club at the time?  If not the next question would be what executive role Trump had at the club.

I can see Trump going down to HR and taking over a terminal to make the changes.

Bernie, Kamala, and Kerry aren't in the House.  Kerry ain't even in office.
