I had a town hall in Memphis on Saturday. We had over 1,000 people there, and over 10,000 people live streamed on Facebook. Many were concerned about Russia's influence with this administration. Something smells. It would be like a vegan going and talking about how much they were supporting the Beef and Dairy Council, or that Chick-fil-A cow going up and saying: Eat more chicken. There is something else to it. There is an ulterior motive. This President's love affair with Russia, his constant support for Russia and Putin--one of the most villainous leaders on the face of this Earth--spells a problem. We need to get to the bottom of it, and one way we will find out is through his taxes. Mr. Speaker, I urge the President to release his income taxes to the American people. It is so important to us having confidence in his administration and to our government's ability to withstand an evil power, as Ronald Reagan called them. ____________________
