As people across the United States submitted their tax forms on Tuesday, congressional Democrats used Tax Day to again call for President Trump to release his tax returns.
Many frequent Trump critics took to Twitter to voice their concerns about the commander in chief's taxes, the Hill reported.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) both called for Trump to release his tax returns. The party leaders appeared to imply Trump cannot be trusted unless his taxes are released.
Until Pres Trump releases his full tax returns, a cloud of suspicion will remain & make it much harder to pass tax reform through Congress.

All roads lead back to @POTUS' tax returns – & the light they can shine on the Trump-Russia connection. https://t.co/XLn81yizpE

Democratic Reps. Shelia Jackson Lee (Texas) and Maxine Waters (Calif.), both frequent Trump critics, also called for the president's returns via Twitter.
Only 45% of public think #TrumpRussia keeps his promises, down a bigly 17% from Feb. Release of taxes might help. https://t.co/CnHK1QpzVl pic.twitter.com/EUOVHtP4of

Trump will not release his taxes b/c he has something to hide. He's only out to enrich himself, his wealthy cabinet, & White House swamp
— Maxine Waters (@RepMaxineWaters) April 18, 2017
Waters continued tweeting about the president on Tuesday, saying that she would "fight everyday until [Trump] is impeached" before claiming on television she has never called for Trump's impeachment.
The White House has said that the president is currently under audit and therefore unable to release his tax returns.
