Pelosi says obtaining Trump's tax returns will be 'challenging'
by Colin Wilhelm
December 13, 2018 12:09 PM House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi D-Calif., said Thursday that obtaining President Trump’s tax returns as part of an investigation into possible tax evasion or other lawbreaking will be “challenging.â€
“I think it’s a little more challenging than you might think,†Pelosi told reporters Thursday. “Yes, there is popular demand for the Congress to request the president’s tax returns,†but, “I’m sure that the White House will resist and the question is, where do we go from there?â€
The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, which is expected to be Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., in the next Congress, will have the power to request tax returns of anyone, including the president and his company. Several times last year Democrats moved to have the committee vote to request those returns, but were turned back by Republicans who decried the maneuver as a political stunt.
