Despite Republican vows to retaliate against President Joe Biden and other Democrats, a House committee decided Tuesday to publicly release part of Donald Trump’s tax returns.
It is unclear when the Trump tax returns will be made public. Personal information must be removed from the documents, and the process might take several days., according to lawmakers.

Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee said releasing the Trump tax returns is in the public interest, and part of an effort to improve auditing procedures at the Internal Revenue Service.
Trump did not immediately comment on the committee vote.
Republicans denounced the move as a purely political precedent and said it could be used in the future to target many Americans.
The committee issued reports defending their investigation. Neal and others pointed to evidence that IRS did not audit Trump during his first two years in office, as is standard operating procedure Neal said it began an audit of Trump only after Congress requested Trump’s tax returns in 2019, and it has not been completed.
The report comes after a yearslong battle that ultimately resulted in the Supreme Court clearing the way last month for the Treasury Department to send the returns to Congress. The committee received six years of tax returns for Trump and some of his businesses.
