The US House of Representatives passed legislation the day before yesterday, requiring the US Tax Authority to publicly disclose the tax returns of US presidents and to start speedy audits of their files, after Democrats moved to make former President Donald Trump's tax returns public.

And the “Roll Call” website stated that the US House of Representatives has sent to the Senate a bill that is unlikely to become law in this Congress, as senators are preparing to leave town for holidays until the end of the year after completing work on the comprehensive fiscal spending package for 2023. But Senate Democrats plan to keep pressing the issue next year.

220 deputies in the House of Representatives voted in favor of the bill, while 201 rejected it.

Only five House GOP members joined all Democrats in voting for the measure, which most GOP members dismissed as a partisan attack on Trump.

The vote ended a three-year court battle to obtain Trump's tax returns over six years from the IRS.

Trump was the first president since Richard Nixon not to voluntarily release his tax returns.

The Democrats' report focused largely on the IRS audits enshrined in the regulations, while another report from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation included information on Trump's returns and specific areas that warrant further scrutiny by auditors.

On Tuesday, the US Congressional Ways and Resources Committee voted to make former President Donald Trump's tax records public, a move that is sure to spark a political row and outrage among some privacy experts in the United States.
