Without Trump’s taxes it is not possible to determine how proposed tax cuts might personally benefit Trump or his business. They would also help determine whether the president has any potential conflicts of interest or is subject to the influence of foreign governments like Russia. On April 15 there were more than 150 tax marches around the country including in New Hartford to demand Trump’s taxes. Democrats filed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Presidential Tax Transparency Act (H.R. 305), a bill by Rep. Anna Eshoo to require the sitting president and all future presidents
and presidential candidates to release their three most recent tax returns.
