For three years, Donald J. Trump has treated the details of his personal and business finances as a closely guarded secret.
On Wednesday, those secrets moved two steps closer to becoming public.
A federal judge in Manhattan ruled against a request from President Trump to block his longtime lender, Deutsche Bank, from complying with congressional subpoenas seeking his detailed financial records. In Albany, New York lawmakers approved a bill that would allow Congress to obtain Mr. Trump’s state tax returns. NYT
Transparency is not a thing
that presidents are apt to fling
into the public forum, since
to tell the truth doth make them wince.
Especially a tax return
gives office holders great heartburn.
The twists and turns of what they file
would make the very Devil smile.
I think since all this trouble started
over documents uncharted
those who want this stuff revealed
should have their own returns so peeled.
