 While the continued legal battle means Congress is unlikely to see Trump’s tax returns anytime soon, if ever, history, at the moment, is not on his side. Earlier this year, a Supreme Court ruling paved the way for Manhattan district attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. to obtain his tax returns, a turn of events Trump responded to by screaming at whatever poor soul had to dictate his words: “These are attacks by Democrats willing to do anything to stop the almost 75 million people (the most votes, by far, ever gotten by a sitting president) who voted for me in the election—an election which many people, and experts, feel that I won.… In the meantime, murders and violent crime are up in New York City by record numbers, and nothing is done about it. Our elected officials don’t care. All they focus on is the persecution of President Donald J. Trump.”
