Former President Donald Trump’s partially erased tax returns
were released by the House Ways and Means Committee. This was a
longtime task of Democrats to make Trump’s tax returns and finances public
after the former president inexpertly tried to stop them in the court.
The final documents which were released had the
financial documents which covered six years of Trump’s individual returns filed
together with his wife, Melania, during his time in the White House. The erased documents also had several tax forms
of Trump’s business operations that were found by the Ways and Means Committee.
There were about 6,000 pages of forms, which included 2,700 pages of self-made
returns and more than 3000 sheets from Trump’s business operations. The tax forms also gave data into the state of
Trump’s finances which were from 2015 to 2020 as he mounted his third bid for
the presidency in 2024. Other information such as his Social Security and bank
account numbers were kept hidden.
