Donald trump to campaigns earned tire presidency keeping his tax returns hidden. Today we found out the game of keep away may finally be over decision to withhold. Donald trump's tax returns from house. Democrats has been reversed by the garland justice department and so the man's taxes must be released congress. What happens when they get them. Does this mean the public will get to see them. And why is this happening now. Don't go anywhere that's coming up next. Can you give us any insight into what the real reason is that. The president has refused to release his tax returns statements that he had said to me that what he didn't want to have an entire group of think tanks that our tax experts run through his tax return and start ripping it to pieces and then he'll end up in an audit and until ultimately have tax deductible consequences penalties and so on now.

Long quest the justice department on america arlen said that trump's tax returns must be released to congress which means soon they could potentially even be made public betcha. Woodrow's swan national political reporter for politico has been tracking these developments and she joins me now so betsy minor standing there was a an opinion from the kind of it's kind of like the supreme court inside the justice the office legal counsel c which gives a legal direction that basically that office overturned previous set guidance that was offered during the trump administration is that right. That's right when trump's lawyers were in charge of the office of legal counsel bay said that members of congress were acting in bad faith even though congress claims to have a legitimate legislative purpose they actually just one of the tax returns to embarrass trump. Therefore treasury didn't have to give them to congress that was the trump. Doj's argument now that it's biden's lawyers who are running doj including this office of legal counsel. What they've said is look even if some members of congress are hoping that the president will be embarrassed by the contents of his tax returns. Hard to imagine why he would be. Maybe some of them are hoping that what what doj says even if they are hoping that it's not germane to the question of whether or not congress actually has a legitimate legislative reason to reach for these tax returns and doj the llc within the justice department confirmed that yes they do have a legitimate legislative reason. One really fun piece of history with all the good. That's cited in the doj opinion. Is that the reason. Congress got the power to pick individual people's tax returns. The reasons specifically this committee did is because of bribery corruption scandal. The law was changed in nineteen twenty four because congressional investigators during the teapot dome scandal. Which involved bribery belt that they were getting stiff armed by the irs. They carry that investigation out. They changed the law and the first time. A member of president's cabinet went to prison was the result of that scandal. So there's a pretty direct through line from the reason. Congress has this power to what they're trying to do with the power today. Yeah the i always found the justifications on the other side fairly tortured that they had to do with that congress's acting in bad faith. There had to be this legislative intent.

He says they can undercut his prices because they're subsidized by their government. And this is at the heart of the current trade talks the extent to which China props up its companies just last week. Massachusetts congressman Richard Neal who heads the powerful House Ways, and means committee spoke about it, the China that we trade with and compete with today is very different from the one that we had hoped would emerge. China's economy which has taken on some market characteristics remains fundamentally state directed. More than half of China's biggest companies are owned by the government. They include essential sectors, like railroads energy shipbuilding and telecommunications like government officials also maintained strong ties to. Private companies says Jennifer Hillman of Georgetown, University Law Center, they're able to direct resources and push resources into those industries in those entities that they are trying to favor Hellman notes that communist party members sit on the board of virtually every big Chinese company, the four largest banks are controlled by the government, Mark.

But the ties between the government and business in China can be okay. So Vanik says Chinese officials know how to give preferential treatment of their own companies at the expense of outsiders without leaving their fingerprints anywhere. They will just say, well, there's a slowdown in inspections of this type of product from your country. It's for safety.
