Former President Donald Trump's legal team formally stepped into a long-running fight over a US House request for his tax returns, claiming Trump's financial history is being unfairly pursued for political reasons by Democrats and seeking to end House Ways and Means Committee investigations into the ex-President and his companies.
The Justice Department last week determined that the Internal Revenue Service must hand over Trump's tax returns to Congress, but a federal judge is still considering what could happen.
While the pressure is heating up in the House Democrats' pursuit of Trump's tax information, the tax returns aren't likely to be given to Congress anytime soon — and the new filing from Trump will likely prompt several new rounds of legal arguments.
The move in court on Wednesday makes Trump a party in the lawsuit. For the past two years, his legal team was essentially on the sidelines as the House fought the case with the executive branch.
Trump is asking the federal court to permanently block the Treasury Department from turning over his tax returns and order Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal to "end all ongoing examinations" of Trump and his companies.
Trump's team also seeks to recoup their legal expenses, according to their new filing.

HOW MANY HOMES DID BLACK LIVES MATTER BUY SO FAR???? ANY OF THE MILLIONS THEY STOLE GO TO AT LEAST ONE BLACK COMMUNITY?? (CRICKETS)
I call it motion sickness…they file motion after motion and the American people are dizzy and nauseated by ALL OF IT, and appalled by 45 and his lack of a moral compass.
@mike briganti But but but but… BLM… and and and HUNTER BIDEN!!!
@mike briganti Your comment is loud, strange, and irrelevant.
Lord Cheeto must have something serious to hide in his tax returns. If it was just a little embarrassing, say, I would have expected him to throw up his hands ages ago and say “F**k it! I’m not going to spend any more on legal fees for this!”

Man! How bad could they be for him to fight like his life depends on it
@GT Nismo HOW SO?
really makes you wonder what is in those tax returns
that’s what I’m wondering, they must be scandalous….wonder if he deducted the $ he paid Stormy Daniels off as entertainment
His political life depends on it… everyone that’s been around Don knows he’s not a billionaire.. He created the lie and if comes out he’s not a whole house of cards falls down around him especially in his ponzi like moving of money and loans to stay afloat. Also his brand goes down if the lie comes out. Lastly pretty much every thing the guy touches is corrupt and a cheat… it’s very likely his freedom for the rest of his life.. likely not too many years left… is dependent on people not looking too close at all the ways he’s cheated the government and workers in the last decade.
Maybe his freedom depends on Congress not seeing his tax returns!🤔
He’s got so much to hide, and yet this crook managed to weasel his way into the White House somehow…

He tapped into something deep in the hearts and minds of the ordinary American.
Deep, deep stupidity.
I don’t want anyone to see that I’m broke and a tax cheat! 🍊

“Shall” – the man swore on the bible, in front of everyone. He SHALL produce his taxes. And right now, after 5 years, he’s still trying to not let that happen. He lied to everyone before day one.
@Belly Dancer Em trump also promised to show his porn magazine wife Melania’s immigration documents in July 2016, Google it…. instead Melania used chain migration to get her sister and both parents their Citizenship….and trump got away with yet another LIE.
@Belly Dancer Em Actually, he said he couldn’t release them because they were under audit. That excuse was fraudulent because Nixon’s tax returns were resulted when he was under audit. A divine irony!
Innocent people don’t fight this hard to hide evidence.
He was lying long before he was born.
@James Eagle ……”promised you not his voters”. Just a reminder when someone is President they represent EVERYONE in the United States. So a promise is a promise. This is another of the many reasons why Trump lost the election
Doesn’t want the world to know he’s not as rich as he claims to be, because it would hurt his wittle feelings! Not to mention years of fraud!
@mike briganti “You mean all the fake buildings and gold courses all across the country.” He also had a casino but we know how that business venture ended.
I actually hope that’s all it is. Lord knows his ego is strong enough for it. I hope it just doesn’t show he’s owned by another counter or something like that.
His whole myth of being the “successful businessman” is a house of cards and his tax returns are one of the key cards.
Pull that card and the whole sham will collapse. That’s what Trump fears.
Everyone already knows.
🎶 “Oh Donnie Boy The Feds, The Feds Are Coming!” 🎶 🤣
That’s how you know you gotta look HARDER. Drag him till his final day.
Innocent people do not fight this hard to hide evidence.
America, the land of the free (only applies to capitalists).
UMMM,,, WHAT?????
He said he wanted to release them if he could, so no problem!
https://youtu.be/O3RgjhNeso8….
BINGO!!!! NOW they CAN be released!!!!! I don’t care if they go public just so the committees, the House and the senate can get them!!!!!
NOPE!! We need those taxes for prosecution purposes!
Don’t be scared NOW! 👍
Trump said he would release his tax returns.. He got what he wanted!
It was a promise made, promise broken
Every word Trump utters is a lie. Lol Where have you been for the last 30 years?
I can only imagine was MAGA nuts would say if this was Biden fighting this hard to conceal his taxes. Cheeto Jesus has truly done a number on you guys. Don’t forget to keep sending him your money. He appreciates your stupidity.
YOUR NOT THE BRIGHTEST BULB .
Lol. Well put
@mike briganti *you’re
Cheeto Jesus lmao!!!
Spanky J Bonespurs would be nowhere if it wasn’t for the stupidity and gullibility of his “supporters”. It takes an especially low IQ to buy into any of his crooked deals.
The more Trump resists, the more we must insist.
The more he resists, the clearer it becomes that he has crimes to hide.
Not “should”, not “can”, not “might”, but “shall”. No ambiguity nor wiggle room. Hmmmm….. what is he trying to hide????🤔
I’m guessing all sorts of crimes, failed business transactions and he ‘s wortha lot less than he says he is
He’s hiding all the Russian money he’s laundering…
Damn, I want to know what he is hiding in those taxes
https://youtu.be/O3RgjhNeso8…..
If he’s “the bestest business man” and “always paid his taxes” (per Blowhard trump) WHY would this embarrass him????
https://youtu.be/O3RgjhNeso8….
“Trump asks court to end House pursuit of his tax returns from IRS” thereby re-affirming, yet again, that #Jan621 Insurrectionist #DJT is “utterly incompetent” as per the words of both his own Federal Judge elder-sister Maryanne Trump Barry and his own Clinical Psychologist niece Dr. Mary Trump. May #Imp2POTUS45 always hear “You’re fired” via the unwavering reality of election results that reject him who is the cause of #MourningInAmerica.
If he did nothing wrong, he sure is fighting hard to keep us from knowing that.
I wonder why Spanky is so terrified to release his taxes like every other potus in modern times has done?
