House Democrats were given access to Donald Trump’s tax returns for the purpose of oversight.
It would appear that they were unable to find anything illegal in them.
So, what did they do?
They did not just leak them to the media, they openly published them.

I don’t understand how they can possibly get away with making this information public.
There is no law that says that Trump has to make his tax returns public.
Presidential candidates traditionally have done it, but Trump did not want to, which is his right.
Democrats are trying to embarrass Trump because he took advantage of tax laws not to pay taxes over several years.
I guarantee you that if you go through all of Congress’ tax returns, you will see plenty of them that have taken advantage of the same law.
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) is now warning the Supreme Court that if they can do this to Trump on the premise of oversight, they can do it to anyone.
He stated, “Going forward, the majority chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee will have nearly unlimited power to target and make public the tax returns of private citizens.”
Brady continued, “And not just private citizens. Political enemies, business and labor leaders or even the returns of Supreme Court justices themselves.
“No party in Congress should have that power. No individuals in Congress could have that power. It’s the power to embarrass, to harass or destroy Americans through disclosure of their tax returns.”
