China News Service, December 21 (Xinhua) Comprehensive US media news, on the 20th local time, the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee led by the Democratic Party of the United States voted to release the tax returns of former President Trump.
It is reportedly unclear when the material will be available to the public.
During the voting process, all Democrats voted in favor and all Republicans voted against.
According to previous reports, in order to obtain Trump's tax returns, the House Ways and Means Committee asked the Treasury Department to provide them in 2019, but was rejected by then Treasury Secretary Mnuchin.
With Biden taking office as the President of the United States, the committee will submit the request to the Treasury Department again in 2021 and obtain approval from the Treasury Department.
Trump, the outgoing president, then sued the House Ways and Means Committee and the Treasury Department.
After a lengthy judicial battle, the U.S. Supreme Court in November granted the House Ways and Means Committee access to Trump's tax returns.
The Treasury Department submitted Trump's tax returns to the committee earlier this month.
It is customary for U.S. presidential candidates to release their tax records during the campaign.
Trump is the only U.S. president in more than 40 years whose tax records have not been released.
On November 15, Trump announced that he would run for president of the United States again.
According to CNN, given that Trump has already announced his participation in the 2024 presidential election, the release of this material is expected to have a strong political impact.
