Although the committee can legally obtain any person\u2019s taxes, the Treasury Department under Trump refused, arguing that there was no valid reason to turn them over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTreasury has complied with last week\u2019s court decision,\u201d a Treasury spokesperson <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/us-supreme-court-business-donald-trump-personal-taxes-congress-7cc1a1a0d10de7bdfc1252603f53ab69\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> the Associated Press on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats now have until early January, when Republicans will take control of the House and likely end the inquiry. Despite the looming time constraint, Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, celebrated the decision last week as a victory for oversight, suggesting that Democrats will waste no time digging into the returns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew the strength of our case, we stayed the course, followed the advice of counsel, and finally, our case has been affirmed by the highest court in the land,\u201d Neal said. \u201cSince the Magna Carta, the principle of oversight has been upheld, and today is no different. This rises above politics, and the Committee will now conduct the oversight that we\u2019ve sought for the last three and a half years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who earlier this month announced he will run for president again, has not publicly commented on the Treasury Department\u2019s decision to release his taxes to Congress. Last week, in a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused the Supreme Court of \u201calways\u201d ruling against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Supreme Court has lost its honor, prestige, and standing, &#038; has become nothing more than a political body, with our Country paying the price,\u201d Trump said. \u201cShame on them!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chief Justice John Roberts had earlier blocked the committee from obtaining Trump\u2019s taxes while the high court considered Trump\u2019s request. The court later decided to \u201cvacate\u201d the request, paving the way for Congress to officially obtain the taxes.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a developing story; refresh the page for updates.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Democrat-led House panel received former President Donald Trump\u2019s taxes on Wednesday following a multi-year court battle that culminated in a loss at the Supreme Court.
