Former President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to intervene and stop the lawmakers from obtaining his tax returns.
‘The Committee has no pressing need for Applicants’ information so it can study generic legislation about funding and regulating future IRS audits of future Presidents,’ wrote Trump’s attorney Cameron Norris on Monday.
Releasing Trump’s tax records to the House Ways and Means Committee would cause ‘irreparable harm’ to the ex-president, according to Norris.
If the Supreme Court declines Trump’s request, his tax returns will be turned over to the committee on Wednesday.
