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.
