Two senior House Democrats announced legislation Wednesday to force a sitting president to release his tax returns to the public, in a move aimed squarely at President Trump.
Reps. Anna Eshoo and Bill Pascrell Jr. said Mr. Trump broke with decades of tradition when he refused during the campaign, and still as president, to release his tax returns.
They said their legislation will make the tradition a law.
“The American people expect those who seek or hold the highest office in the land to be open and transparent about their tax returns,” Ms. Eshoo said.
