The Biden administration must decide how to handle House Democrats’ request for former President Trump’s tax returns.
A decision on whether to comply with the House Ways and Means Committee’s request could come as soon as Wednesday, when a status report is due in the committee’s lawsuit. It is possible that the administration could also say it still needs more time on the decision.
President Biden called on Trump to release his tax returns during the 2020 presidential race, and many legal experts think the law is on House Democrats’ side. But the administration is still working to fill key positions and thus far has been cautious in weighing in on the topic.
“I suspect they’re in no particular hurry to settle this question,” said Joseph Thorndike, a tax historian with Tax Analysts.
Thorndike said he thinks the substance of House Democrats’ request makes sense. However, he also said that the Biden administration will not want to look like “they’re too politicized in this.”

That’s what we love about Mr. Biden. He’s a uniter.
IT IS 100% POLITICAL !!!!!!!!!!!
Thorndike said he thinks the substance of House Democrats’ request makes sense. However, he also said that the Biden administration will not want to look like “they’re too politicized in this.”
And he also isn’t interested in setting the precedent of former presidents being hounded by the other party when they take over.
It doesn’t only “look” too politicized. It IS too politicized
Biden is sick in the head
