US House Republicans Block Democratic Resolution Demanding Trump’s Tax Returns For The Tenth Time

The Hill reports:

For the tenth time in the last several months, Republicans on Wednesday blocked a Democratic resolution offered on the House floor to request President Trump’s tax returns. The measure was defeated on a procedural vote of 227-188 that fell largely along party lines. The resolution considered Wednesday was offered by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee’s tax-policy subcommittee. He had offered the measure as “privileged,” which would require the House to act on it. However, Rep. Mike Simpson [PHOTO], who was presiding over the House, determined that the resolution wasn’t privileged.
