Former President Donald Trump is seeking a court order to block the IRS from releasing his tax returns to a House committee. Last week, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel said t…
But in a filing in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, Trump’s legal team is challenging their release, arguing that the “primary purpose” for the congresssional request is “for the sake of exposure, to improperly conduct law enforcement, or some other impermissible goal—not to study federal legislation.
But Trump’s attorneys argued that Neal’s “legislative purpose lacks a basis in evidence and is admittedly pretextual. Passing broad reforms that the Chairman has already identified does not justify the significant step of requesting a President’s records. Other sources could provide the needed information, especially since Defendants are now so eager to disclose information about presidential audits.
The former president’s attorneys are seeking, among other things, a permanent injunction ordering the House committee “to end all ongoing examinations of Intervenors.” Trump declined to release his returns in the 2016 presidential campaign and since then, claiming that he was being subjected to an IRS audit.
