DEMS/HOUSE OF REPS/TRUMP TAXES: “House Democrats plan to formally demand President Donald Trump’s tax returns in about two weeks, a key lawmaker said Tuesday [3-5-19]. They intend to seek his personal tax returns covering a decade, but will not at this time request his business filings, said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee…A 1924 law allows the heads of Congress’ tax committees to examine anyone’s confidential tax filings. Lawmakers can also vote to make those returns publicly available, experts say…The effort appears to have ramped up in the wake of testimony last week by Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, as well as by the possibility that special counsel Robert Mueller’s long-anticipated report might soon be released.”
