Seattle-area Congress members Suzan DelBene and Dave Reichert squared off in their House Ways and Means Committee over an attempt to force Donald Trump to disclose his tax returns.
DelBene represents the First Congressional District, stretching from Kirkland and Redmond north to the Canadian border. Reichert is in the eastside's Eighth District, going from Issaquah and Kent all the way to Wenatchee. The Democrats, including DelBene, introduced a resolution asking the US Treasury Department to send them Trump's full tax records from 2006 through 2016, along with supplementary documentation.
The resolution also asked Treasury for documentation of any Trump debts held by foreign governments and foreign companies. It requested information on his investments in foreign countries and foreign enterprises. And the resolution asked for information on any tax shelters, corporate structures, and tax avoidance maneuvers or loopholes used to eliminate tax liability.
