I'm Ben Mycelis from the Midas Touch Network, the House of Representatives, Ways and Means Committee has just voted to release Donald Trump's tax returns and his corporate tax returns and all of the tax returns of the businesses affiliated with him to make those public in a 24 to 16 vote following three hours and 20 minutes of closed session deliberation which took place on Tuesday. This follows years of the House Ways and Means Committee trying to get their hands on Donald Trump's tax returns and despite the fact that every single United States president since Nixon forthcoming made their tax returns public. Donald Trump refused to try to conceal his tax schemes from the public but now we will have a modicum of transparency thanks to the diligent work of the House of Representative Ways and Means Committee. Now the House Ways and Means Committee didn't just get their hands on these records. They had to fight each and every step of the way as Donald Trump and his corrupt lackeys tried to block turning over the tax returns. The effort by the House Ways and Means Committee began in earnest in 2018 after the Democrats took control over the House of Representatives. The House Ways and Means Committee led by Congressman Richard Neal had to file a litigation against Donald Trump in the Treasury Department after the Treasury Secretary which oversees the IRS. Steve Mnuchin refused to turn over Donald Trump's tax returns citing that there was no legitimate legislative purpose for it despite the fact that built into the IRS code is the fact that there is a legitimate legislative purpose. The House Ways and Means Committee is permitted to get their hands on these tax records and to make them public of a president as part of the presidential audit functions that are supposed to be conducted by the IRS. So Steve Mnuchin blocked it. The House Ways and Means Committee had to file a federal lawsuit. President Joe Biden takes over in January of 2021. He of course disagrees with the unlawful policies by Steve Mnuchin and Trump and Biden's Treasury Department says, okay, we're okay to turn this over. Donald Trump then intervened and filed a lawsuit in his individual capacity to try to block it. Trump lost in front of a Trump appointee federal judge. Trump lost in front of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals which oversees the federal judge in DC where Trump lost in front of Trump tried to appeal before an end bank panel of all of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. That was denied. Donald Trump then filed an emergency application fairly recently. You'll recall we covered it here on the Midas Touch Network before the United States Supreme Court. The United States Supreme Court deliberated for a short period of time as the parties to brief the issue and then rejected Donald Trump's request for a motion to block turning over these records to the House Ways and Means Committee and the Supreme Court did that with no notable dissents, meaning they did it unanimously. And therefore the House Ways and Means Committee got their hands on Trump's tax returns. They then deliberated over what to do with these records over the past couple of weeks. Today they held this session, mostly held in a closed door session. And in a vote of 24 to 16, since the Democrats control the House of Representatives still and control the House Ways and Means Committee, they voted to make these records to the public, holding that there is an important public purpose that is necessary to release these records. I mean, here you have the fact that Donald Trump has engaged corruptly with his tax returns. He has been found guilty. His organization that is has been found guilty on 17 felony counts in connection with a fraudulent tax scheme in New York this past month. Every single president has released their tax returns. Donald Trump's wealth essentially stems from all of his tax chicanery and his tax manipulation. So there is an important transparency function being played here. And absolutely the public deserves to know the tax situation of the president of the United States. When you are a public servant, that must mean something a public servant. You are not supposed to act in your own interest against the interests of the United States. And you know, you have all of these Republicans who are just like to hell with our democracy. At this point, they're willing to annoy kings and emperors and to have America become a fascistic state.
