Pelosi: House Democrats Will Start Process to Get Trump Tax Returns

Nancy Pelosi said Democrats will begin to seek President Donald Trump's tax returns when they take control of the U.S. House of Representatives in January.

The House Ways and Means Committee will "take the first steps," said Pelosi, who has the backing of her members to become the next speaker of the U.S. House in January.

"There is popular demand for the Congress to request the president's tax returns," she said, speaking to reporters. "I'm sure the White House will resist, so the question is where do we go from there."
