Washington, DC,

The House Ways and Means Committee has blocked a bid by Democrats to obtain the income tax returns that President Trump has refused to release, the first president or major-party nominee since the 1970s not to share this information with American voters. By a party-line 24-16 vote on Tuesday, the tax writing committee tabled (killed) a resolution introduced by veteran New Jersey Rep. Bill Pascrell and cosponsored by Rep. Suzan DelBene , D-Wash. Republican Rep. Dave Reichert, the other Washington House member on Ways and Means, voted with fellow GOP members to kill the resolution.
