DNC Chair Tom Perez released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution does not preclude a president from complying with a criminal or congressional subpoena:
“No one is above the law – not even the president. Today is a victory for accountability. The American people deserve to know the depth of Donald Trump’s corruption. Reporting has already revealed Trump’s long history of tax fraud, dubiously avoiding taxes, and potentially paying bribes to lower his tax bill. But we haven’t gotten the full truth because Trump has broken with decades of precedent by refusing to release his tax returns after saying for years that he would. He even suggested that candidates are hiding something if they don’t. So what is Trump so desperate to hide? We’re one step closer to finding out.”
