From The Hill (http://thehill.com/policy/finance/319438-house-panel-votes-against-requesting-trumps-tax-returns) The House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday rejected a Democratic push to ask for President Trump's tax returns. The amendment, offered by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) to the panel's oversight plan, was voted down on a party-line vote. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) sent committee chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) a letter earlier this month asking him to request the returns from Treasury so that the committee could review them in a closed meeting and consider whether they should be made public. The chairmen of the Ways and Means Committee, Senate Finance Committee and Joint Committee on Taxation can request tax returns from Treasury under federal tax law. Brady on Monday told reporters he would not request the returns, saying that the committee wouldn't weaken taxpayers' privacy rights. Brady has the power to ask for the returns and show them to his committee no matter what he claims! Keep the heat on Brady. When you have a moment, please call him at either of these numbers and demand that he reverse his decision and request Trump's tax returns for the past 10 years, from the Secretary of the Treasury.
