Could the Russia Investigation Reveal Trump’s Tax Returns?
If special prosecutor Robert Mueller suspects they contain evidence of a crime, the most sought-after documents in Washington might just be unearthed.
Trump—who is the first president in 40 years to refuse to make his tax returns public, despite once promising to do so— would have almost no way of stopping him. In fact, the prosecutors said, the president and his lawyers would not necessarily even know that Mueller had obtained them.
.. Notably, this does not necessarily mean that the public would ever see the returns.
.. Trump’s two adult sons have both been quoted as saying that Russian investments represent a lopsided share of their revenues
.. Rosenstein is, nominally, Mueller’s supervisor, which means Rosenstein could try to overturn any significant decision made by Mueller, including a decision to seek the tax returns.
