Fact Checks (1)

"It is illegal to release tax returns if they are not yours"

Mostly False

The House Ways and Means Committee obtained Trump's returns under 26 U.S.C. § 6103(f), which grants the committee legal authority to request and examine any taxpayer's returns. The committee voted to release them through proper legislative channels. While unauthorized disclosure of tax returns is indeed a crime under § 6103, the committee's action was authorized by statute.
