House Committee Votes To , Release Redacted Trump Tax Returns.
CBS News reports that the House Ways and Means Committee voted 24-16 on Dec. 20 to release the records.
Portions of six years of Trump's tax returns will be made available to the public.
Democrats pointed to the fact that nine of the last 10 presidents, the exception being Trump, released their tax returns.
The idea that somebody is making millions of dollars and can get away without paying their taxes by avoiding — in an unprecedented way — their tax liability, while single moms who are trying to take care of their kids are being audited, is absolutely unacceptable, Democratic Rep. Mike Thompson, via statement.
Means Committee chair Richard Neal said it will take a "few days" since sensitive information must first be redacted. .
Neal also called for
legislation that would
force presidents to
submit to annual
audits of their taxes.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi agreed and called on the
House to quickly take up the legislation since
Republicans will gain control of the chamber in January.
Republican Rep. Kevin Brady called the decision
"a dangerous new political weapon that overturns decades of privacy protections for average
taxpayers in the era of political targeting.".
CBS News reports that a 2020
'New York Times' article found that Trump only
paid $750 in federal taxes in 2017 and 2018

House GOP to Vote, to Get Rid of IRS.
Fox News reports that House Republicans
will soon vote on the Fair Tax Act.
The bill seeks to abolish the IRS and do away with national income tax, which would be replaced with a national consumption tax.
The decision to vote on the bill was part of a deal between the House Freedom Caucus and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
The Fair Tax Act eliminates
the tax code, replaces the
income tax with a sales tax,
and abolishes the abusive
Internal Revenue Service. , Rep. Jeff Duncan, via Fox News.
If enacted, this will invigorate the American taxpayer and help more Americans achieve the American Dream, Rep. Jeff Duncan, via Fox News.
Armed, unelected bureaucrats should not have more power over your paycheck than you do, Rep. Buddy Carter, via Fox News.
The IRS is set to hire
87,000 new agents this year. .
Republicans would like to save that federal funding by pushing this bill through.
We’ve seen a continued growth of the IRS and a persistent punishment of hardworking Americans via the tax code. What we’re calling for is a simplified and fair code that works for all, not just some, Rep. Kat Cammack, via Fox News

Today, the Department of Justice has dealt a significant blow to the crypto crime ecosystem, General Lisa Monaco, Deputy Attorney General, via statement .
U.S. officials allege that the crypto exchange processed
over $700 million in illegal funds by not having a proper anti-money laundering program in place.
The Justice Department and Treasury Department officials also allege that Bitzlato was aware of some of this criminal activity.
Bitzlato was particularly active in
facilitating illicit activity, but it is
ultimately part of a larger, larger ecosystem
of cyber criminals that are allowed to
operate with impunity within Russia, Wally Adeyemo, Deputy Treasury Secretary, via statement.
'The Hill' reports that a large part of the criminal complaint centers on Bitzlato's relationship with a Russian-based darknet market known as Hyrda Marketplace.
According to the complaint, a
"substantial portion" of the crypto billions Hydra received came from Bitzlato wallets.

Treasury Secretary , Warns US Is on Track , to Hit Debt Ceiling .
On January 13, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen
told Congress that the United States
would hit the nation's debt limit next week.
ABC News reports that the announcement sets up a showdown between Democrats and Republicans who have vowed to
couple any increase in the debt ceiling with spending cuts.
According to Yellen, on January 19, the U.S.
will hit its $31.4 trillion borrowing limit.
While Treasury is not currently able
to provide an estimate of how long
extraordinary measures will enable us
to continue to pay the government’s
obligations, it is unlikely that cash
and extraordinary measures will
be exhausted before early June, Janet Yellen, U.S. Treasury Secretary, via ABC News.
Yellen reportedly added that the Treasury Department will begin implementing "extraordinary measures" to manage the government's cash flow.
ABC News reports that those
measures could include cutting
investments in some retirement funds.
Independent analysts reportedly
caution that the U.S. is not likely to hit
the debt ceiling until late summer or early fall.
In 2011, the U.S. hit the debt
ceiling, which ultimately cost
the nation its AAA rating

Congress Continues to Wait, for a New House Speaker to Be Named.
Associated Press reports that Republican
debate over who will be the next Speaker
of the House has stalled the 118th Congress. .
After several votes, Kevin McCarthy hasn't been able to secure the position.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are growing restless, demanding that if he can't garner enough votes, he should step aside and stop wasting time.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are growing restless, demanding that if he can't garner enough votes, he should step aside and stop wasting time.
Without a speaker, no member of the House
of Representatives can be officially sworn in,
meaning the Congress can't convene or vote on rules. .
At the same time, no committees
can be formed and legislation
cannot be passed.
According to AP, a resolution to the standstill
seemed distant as members of the House
appeared unable to proceed on December 4.
I don’t know what my status is. I don’t know
if I have health care, I don’t know if my staff
get paid. We’re looking at all of that now
because this hasn’t happened for 100 years, Ted Lieu, Democratic Representative
of California, via Associated Press.
It is the first time in 100 years that
members of the House were not signed in
on the first day of a new Congress.
In 1923, it took three days to complete
the process of choosing a new speaker. .
In 1855, the process was
dragged out over two months. .
It’s a very strange limbo.
We are operating by precedent, Madeleine Dean, Democratic Representative of Pennsylvania, via Associated Press.
We have no exit strategy, Ralph Norman, Republican Representative of
South Carolina, via Associated Press
