Federal court rules that House committee can access Trump’s tax records

A federal appeals court unanimously ruled that a House committee can access former President Donald Trump’s tax records following a yearslong legal battle.

A federal appeals panel unanimously ruled Tuesday that a House committee can access former President Donald Trump’s tax records after a yearslong legal battle.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for Washington, D.C., agreed that the House Ways and Means Committee has the authority to obtain Trump’s tax records from the Treasury Department, upholding a district court ruling from late last year.

Trump's lawyers are all but certain to appeal the ruling.

NBC News has asked a Trump spokesman and a member of his legal team for comment.

The court ruling adds to Trump's legal woes after the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday. A source familiar with the matter said the search was tied to classified information Trump is alleged to have taken with him from the White House to his resort in January 2021.
