Six years of Trump tax returns released

House Democrats on Friday released six years of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns.

The House Ways and Means Committee dropped the returns Friday morning, with just four days left of the Democratic majority.

For years Trump has battled to keep the returns secret – breaking precedent by not making them public during his 2016 and 2020 runs for the presidency.

The returns account for the years 2015 to 2020, the year he launched his successful presidential run and then the four years he was in the White House.
