More Lawlessness: DOJ Says IRS Must Turn Over President Donald Trump’s Tax Returns to Democrats in Congress

The political persecution continues.

The lawless Biden Department of Justice on Friday ruled that the IRS must turn over President Trump’s taxes to Democrats in Congress.

Marxists never stop until you’re destroyed.

NBC News reported:

The Justice Department said Friday that the IRS must turn over former President Donald Trump’s income tax returns to Congress.

The DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel said in its opinion that the House Ways and Means Committee had given “sufficient reasons” for requesting the information.

When a congressional tax committee asks for such tax information, “the executive branch should conclude that the request lacks a legitimate legislative purpose only in exceptional circumstances,” the Office of Legal Counsel said.

The opinion is a reversal from the Office of Legal Counsel’s previous position. In 2019, it concluded just the opposite, agreeing with the Trump administration that Congress lacked a legitimate legislative purpose and simply want to try to embarrass Trump.
