Trump tax returns must be given to Congress, federal appeals court says in new ruling

Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held at the Hilton Anatole on August 06, 2022 in Dallas, Texas. CPAC began in 1974, and is a conference that brings together and hosts conservative organizations, activists, and world leaders in discussing current events and future political agendas. 

A federal appeals court panel said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump must turn over his tax returns.

The decision is the latest blow to Trump, who has been unsuccessful in his attempts to shield his tax returns and business related documents from investigations.

FBI agents searched Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, as part of an investigation into the removal of sensitive documents from the White House.

According to the appeals panel, the House committee had the right to get Trump's tax records.

A federal district court judge made a previous decision in December.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals could be asked to re-hear the case.
