Democrats have been in control of the House for 100 days, and they’re ready to go after Trump.
Democrats celebrated their first 100 days in Congress this week by using their authority to check President Donald Trump's power on a number of fronts.
With the president still unwilling to make his returns public, on Wednesday House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal bypassed the White House. He sent a letter to the IRS requesting the tax returns through an obscure code that grants the Joint Committee on Taxation, the House Ways and Means chairman and the Senate Finance Committee chairman the authority to request the tax information of any individual.
The president appeared unconcerned on Wednesday night and repeated his oft-used line about IRS audits to justify his lack of tax transparency.

Republican Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley played the whole thing off as political grandstanding. Mueller Time, AgainThere may be another subpoena headed toward the Trump administration, this time for the full, unredacted report and all supporting evidence produced by special Counsel Robert Mueller around Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible obstruction by the president.
