Donald Trump is still yet to release any of his tax returns. Despite calls from both Democrats and past Republican nominees, Trump remains defiant to a long-standing bi-partisan tradition. But there’s one person who could render this whole debate moot. One man has the sole authority to order any of Trump’s tax returns be publicly released: President Barack Obama.
Section 6103g of the Internal Revenue Code allows you, as President to request,= the Secretary furnish to the President, or to such employee or employees of the White House Office as the President may designate by name in such request, a return or return information with respect to any taxpayer named in such request.
