A court ruled on Tuesday that the House can get Trump's tax returns from the IRS.
The judge ruled that the House Ways and Means Committee has a legitimate reason to obtain the returns in order to better monitor the IRS' policy.
Lawmakers' requests did not outweigh Trump's concerns about his private financial information being made public.
It's inconvenient, but not to the extent that it violates the separation of powers. It doesn't make them burdensome. The nature of the investigative and legislative processes is what it is.
The court was unmoved by the argument that allowing Congress to obtain Trump's returns would lead to a break in the relationship between the two branches of government.
It is possible that Congress will try to threaten the President with a request.
When a president leaves office, he will be subject to the same laws as all other citizens. This is a part of the democratic republic.
