Does Donald Trump, as a private citizen, have a right to keep his tax returns private? [View all]

Then, why should that change once he becomes President?

Just because he said he would release them? But they always seem to be "under audit"?

But, there is a law on the books. This would not be a precedent. Congress got Nixon's tax returns under the same law. Does Donald think he is more important than Nixon?

Why should not the Congress request the tax returns of someone who is being investigated for being in cahoots with foreign governments, and whose financial interests he is protecting? There may be a threat to our national security.

Why shouldn't the Congress investigate?

Send it to the Courts, if necessary.

And it does look necessary.
