The House Ways and Means Committee released six years of former President Donald Trump's tax returns on Friday, after years of legal battles, days before Republicans will take control of the House and its committees.

The committee voted last week to make the documents public, following the release of thousands of pages about Trump and his wife.
The committee released a report last week showing that Trump paid no taxes in 2020.
According to the reports, Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017, but paid more than $1 million in both of the last two years.
The reports show that Trump had a negative adjusted gross income of $4.7 million in 2020 and a negative adjusted gross income of $11.9 million in 2017.
The committee wanted to get Trump's tax returns in order to investigate the IRS's mandatory audit program.
A president is not a normal taxpayer. They are the most powerful and influential Americans. With great power comes even greater responsibility, according to the committee chair.
Years of precedent were broken when Trump refused to make his taxes public. The House committee got the documents from the IRS after the Supreme Court denied Trump's attempt to keep them secret. During Trump's first two years in office, the IRS didn't audit his taxes at all, even though presidents are subject to mandatory IRS audits.
The committee sought the tax returns to make them public, not for a legitimate legislative purpose according to Trump. The committee was accused of withholding key portions of the documents and releasing details to make Trump look bad. Last month, the Supreme Court denied Trump's request to stop the release of his returns, ending his legal battle.
There are checks and balances in Trump's tax returns.
