President Donald Trump on Monday told reporters he doesn’t care if Democrats go after his tax returns.
"I don’t care,” Trump said after arriving in Indiana for a campaign rally per pool reports. “They can do whatever they want and I can do whatever I want.”
Trump has refused to release his tax returns, but the House can subpoena the president if it takes control of the chamber in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Trump’s personal returns would list any income he’s earned from the many corporations and partnerships in which he’s a key player.
Some Democrats and critics of the president have long implied records would show Trump is not worth as much as he claims. In May 2016, he contended a net worth “in excess” of $10 billion.
"It'll all work out but I don't think that's going to happen," Trump said about Democrats’ chances of taking the House. "I think we're doing very well in the House. I think we're doing very well in the Senate."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., last month told The San Francisco Chronicle’s editorial board that one of the Democrats’ first “things we’d do” is demand Trump turn over his tax returns.
“We have to have the truth,” Pelosi said.
