Trump tax returns released to public after multiyear battle by Democrats

Former President Donald Trump's tax returns have been released in full after a multiyear quest by Democrats.

The returns, which cover six years of Trump's life, were entered into the congressional record on Friday morning. Bank account information, Social Security numbers, and other information were redacted from the returns before their public release. The release includes not only Trump's tax returns but also returns from eight business entities affiliated with the former president.

Democrats have been using the legal system to try to obtain the returns for more than three years. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal (D-MA) had requested the documents under a law that provides the group with the authority to obtain taxpayer records.
