The American people need to see if Trump has been receiving funds from foreign nations. You lose you’re right to privacy when you assume office, at the taxpayers expense, and become a representative of the people. Only CROOKS conduct themselves in this manner and everyone knows TRUMP IS A CROOK, A TRAITOR AND A CONMAN.

*Preliminary Analysis and Investigation Approvals*
*_Special agents analyze information to determine if criminal tax fraud or some other financial crime may have occurred. Relevant information is evaluated.

If the supervisor approves, approval is obtained from the head of the office, the special agent in charge, to initiate a “subject criminal investigation.” At this point, at least two layers of CI management have reviewed the ‘primary investigation’ material and determined there is sufficient evidence to initiate a subject criminal investigation._*
*Conducting a Criminal Investigation*
*_Once an investigation is opened, the special agent obtains the facts and evidence needed to establish the elements of criminal activity.

And thats why you have to stomp on the bad spider
@Joe Moer Typical Trump supporter response. No thought. Just name call, trivialize and putdown.
@El Jay Yes, yes you do give up YOUR privacy. I’m a federal employee. I just completed my annual disclosure of my assets, debts, any outside sources of income, and gifts received. As did my husband who doesn’t even work for the federal government. The American people have a right to know that public servants are fair, impartial, and loyal to THEM.
Tell me this guy doesn’t look just like the Joker from the 60s Batman
No he’s just an old fart with saggy skin lololololo
Thomas Michael Don’t insult the Joker dude
Caesar Romero would not be pleased.
Nah ! He is much uglier .
Why wait till June?… Anyone hiding their taxes when legally required is hiding fraud.
@sun dial Mnuchin is lying
Robert redmon nice try buddy you don’t know what information congress has to ask for his tax returns there are multiple open investigations into his activities.
@sun dial I love the selective hearing of all the trump trolls. They are immune to logic and are deaf on top of it!
@Robert redmon
“They have no specific federal crime”
This totally false, a federal crime is not a required prerequisite to Congress exercising is legal authority to seek these returns.
@Les Saleh
Thats your intrepretation of the law which is as Mnuchin says is currently in a court case to decide definition , ofcourse a dumb liberal like you don’t believe in legal processes…… 😉
Rule of law does not apply to the most corrupt administration this country has ever seen.
@dimebagmetott666 Lmao… I can come up with at least 5 confirmed crimes your cult leader has committed. But I laughed so hard at your comment, I realized that your brain could not comprehend what proof of a crime is. I decided to let your ” brain” maul in that bullshit comment you had nerve to type. 😂😅😀😂🤣🔥🔥🔥
@get lost A person that has nothing to hide would give up their taxes voluntarily. The crime is committed in his taxes you dumbass. Why in the hell do think he wants no one to see them? Because you seem to be clueless, I will give you a hint…. International.
@Facts trump prejudice actually it’s the democratic party that’s the biggest danger to our country and our constitution! Wake up you sheep
“by june” and I thought my country courts where slow…
@rhak96 They also “fast track” important matters, this is definitely an “important matter” prior to the elections. Put it on the docket!
@Lars Jones How is the public release of taxes “important”?
@Overshare Most supreme court cases are high profile 🙂
@rhak96 higher then this? hardly…
@rhak96 Ask Trump. It’s important enough he is hiding them after promising to deliver after the election
His mouth is soo disgusting when he speaks Steve nash mouth.🤮🤮
Kind of like Adam Schiff…. Sick to even look at, let alone listen to.
Delrois Fierro He’s disgusting period. 🤢🤢🤢
Wes Williams Adam Schiff has more character in his pinky than he could ever dream of having.

@Carolyn Willett

Trump promised to hand over his tax returns. He’s on film saying it enough times. Yet another promise broken. Yet another lie.
@LAST CALL It is exactly our business. The American people have a right to a president who does not owe allegiances to foreign power. That I am probably explaining this to a Republican, the party that formerly stood for law and order, defense of America, and fiscal responsibility, is beyond perplexing. What in sam hell has happened to the Republican party? Please go find yourself because America needs you back!

Mnuchin has to be the ugliest SOB I’ve ever seen. It’s like he is being punished with that hideous face. Goodness gracious. He looks like a mash up of that kid from the mask, Gary busey, and a chimpanzee. Only trumps submissive coward sheep base can love a face like that. Hideous.
His mouth is huge it reminds me of a howdy dowdy puppet
Trump tried to rewrite his father’s will in 1990 to strengthen his position as the only person to inherit his father’s estate. But Fred Trump foiled the attempt, as he feared his son could strip his estate and use it to rescue his own failing businesses, The Times reported, citing depositions and other documents it obtained.
Trump had sent his father a document that would make him the sole executor of the estate and protect his portion of his inheritance from creditors and his impending divorce settlement.
Despite his father’s will having already been written by a top real estate lawyer, Trump had his own lawyers draft a new copy and sent it to his father in December 1990. Trump sent his father the 12-page document and asked him to sign it immediately. Fred Trump, then 85 and terminally ill, was in the hospital, had not seen the document before, and saw the move as an attempt to go behind his back.
He showed the document to his daughter Maryanne Trump Barry, a federal judge at the time. She recalled in her deposition that he told her, “This doesn’t pass the smell test,” The Times reported.
Then Fred Trump had lawyers draft new documents stripping his son of sole control of the estate. Notes from those lawyers show that Fred Trump’s instructions were to “protect assets from DJT, Donald’s creditors.”
Sworn depositions made by unnamed members of the Trump family during a dispute over Donald Trump’s nieces’ and nephews’ inheritance were obtained by The Times. Those depositions showed that Fred Trump believed the document his son wanted him to sign would put his vast business empire at risk.
Had his father signed the document, which he did not, it also would have given Trump sole control over his dying father’s estate..
Fred Trump was, according to the sworn Trump family testimonies obtained by The Times, angered by his son’s attempt to rewrite his own will without his prior knowledge or consent.
If Trump would do this to his own father and siblings, what do you think he would do to the country and the American people?
If Trump’s own father and siblings couldn’t trust him, why on earth should the American people trust him?
Josh Lawson yea because Fox state sanctioned news is telling truth. Go stick your head back under a rock you and rest of the sheep.
