"45" promised to make them public and, absent covering up criminal conduct, he has no reason not to release them all.

[aj_darkblade]

Remember when he said at a debate that we'd get his tax returns after the election?

Liar is gonna lie, Grifter is gonna grift.

[mebeingU]

For a guy who wants to tell the world how great he is, how smart he is, how successful he is, he sure runs to the courts a lot to prevent America from seeing what he’s done. How many times did he use the fifth amendment in that NY investigation??

[darlenejames]

I thought he said he'd be happy to provide them but they were held hostage by the IRS.

[BackroadRambler]

Must be nice to own your very own Supreme Court to run to each time they threaten to hold him accountable for any of his countless crimes.

[justiceall]

How many times do the courts have to rule on this? They've already said he must release them .

[JamesSmith-rhis]

There is no question whatsoever that Trump has been the worst kind of leader that America has ever experienced in 246 years & that America made the right decision to vote him out of the White House.

[Makoto]

Every Single Time he's blocked it or got his lawyers to block it...
HE CLEARLY CONTINUES TO HIDE SOMETHING INCRIMINATING.

"Do not value money for any more nor any less than its worth; it is a good servant but a bad master."

[sharontabor]

If there was nothing to hide, he wouldn't be objecting so strongly.

[richardlangcay]

Supreme Court must not stop the Evidence to prove the truth and must never OBSTRUCT Justice

[kamaboko]

Trump wants Clarence to rule on the tax documents. His inside guy.

[tenestetubo]

I guess he can always count on good ol' Tommy, and Gini to bail him out as many times as possible. Man oh man, it really pays off to have your biggest fan in the SCOTUS

[englewood]

The court will reject the case if they want to keep any credibility.

[pamelayt]

I'm surprised it's taken Don so long to go to the supreme court. Nothing says 'I'm innocent and all my finances are in order' than going to the supreme court

[cottonrock]

Please NYT has most of them. But proving he is a liar is vital to Democracy. House has the right absolutely.

[carlrosa]

Does everyone get to do this? If I receive a notice from the IRS for taxes, can I just walk up to the Supreme Court and ask them to 'block' it? What is the world is going on?!?!?!? How is the Republican party the party of 'law and order?' Sounds to me like they want to avoid the law at all costs.

[terrylarkin]

I thought Trump promised in the 2016 election to release his tax records after the "audit". I guess that is like his amazing "health plan" he was going to release. lol

[kcw]

Every modern president, EXCEPT Trump released their returns. It's just an obvious and morally right thing to do for the American people.

[jimfitzsimmons]

So Donald thinks the court should spend 100% of there time to hear his cases, one after another.
