The House Ways and Means Committee now has six years of Donald Trump’s federal tax returns, ending a yearslong pursuit by Democrats to dig into one of the former president’s most closely guarded personal details.

The Treasury Department has complied with last week’s court order to hand over the documents, a spokesperson from the Treasury Department confirmed to CNN on Wednesday. …

The documents are not expected to be immediately released to the public.

[Chair Richard Neal is not allowed to release them at all. Those records remain private; the Ways and Means chair has only the authority to review specific returns for “legislative purposes,” and all other privacy requirements remain in place. If they leak, the next session of Congress will likely deal with it. — Ed]
