Yesterday, on tax day, the White House made an announcement about President Trump's taxes, but it wasn't the announcement that Americans were waiting for. Instead of releasing his returns, President Trump was actually just requesting an extension to file his 2017 income tax return, which still would not be made public if or when he files it. It is a good reminder that President Trump has broken with decades of tradition when, as a Presidential candidate, he did not disclose his tax returns. Mr. Speaker, if we defeat the previous question, I will offer an amendment to bring up Representative Eshoo's bill, H.R. 305, the Presidential Tax Transparency Act, which would require Presidential nominees to disclose their last 3 years of tax returns. To discuss our proposal, I yield 4\1/2\ minutes to the distinguished gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pascrell).
