According to Breitbart, it was the biggest fake news story in political assassination history.
The release of the returns was the biggest news because it was the first time Congress had decided to publish an American citizen’s tax returns.
The release came after years of legal battles by Trump’s attorneys to keep the former president’s tax records sealed, as any American citizen or president has the right to privacy.
The media’s obsession with tax returns
The culmination came after years of Marxist media figures, such as Rachel Maddow, claiming that releasing Trump’s tax returns would land him in serious legal trouble.
Except it didn’t happen. Not a single time.
Trump's tax returns was the biggest nothing burger in history.

I still can't stop laughing at the idiots on the Left.
Maddow was scorned for waving around what they claimed was Trump’s 2005 tax return, which showed nothing more than what a successful businessperson’s tax returns would likely look like.
The New York Times tried desperately to make a story out of several of Trump’s much older tax return filings, only to discover that Trump had done nothing wrong or illegal.
Breitbart noted: “The Times story, if based on authentic documents, appears to debunk several conspiracy theories held by Democrats for years. The tax returns do not ‘any previously unreported connections to Russia,’ the Times reports. Moreover, the Times story appears to confirm Trump’s claim — long treated as an excuse by Democrats — that he is under audit by the IRS.”
What occurred?
The latest round of tax returns, which required the intervention of the United States Supreme Court to allow Congress to compel the IRS to turn over the documents, came just days before House Democrats lost their majority.
Given that there were no major revelations, many believe that House Democrats simply sparked the other side to be just as zealous in their investigations into a long list of suspects, including the Biden crime regime.
Democrats want to talk about Donald Trump’s Tax Returns but not the “10% for the Big Guy” and all of the money Joe Biden made from foreign deals that he likely didn’t report on his Taxes while he was selling his office to the highest bidder. pic.twitter.com/1OfcEJqx2G

If House Republicans go all in, it appears that a number of Democrats will face a hefty legal bill in 2023.
