Joe Biden Had the Perfect Comeback to News That Trump Won a Delay in His Tax Return Case

Since the 2016 campaign, President Donald Trump has avoided disclosing his financial records—a deviation from what every President or major presidential nominee since Nixon has done.

The President initially promised to release them if elected, then claimed he was under audit and couldn't disclose them.


Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance subpoenaed Mazars USA, Trump's accounting firm, last year, sparking a legal battle that saw the Supreme Court rule against the assertion of Trump's lawyers that the President isn't subject to investigation.

Trump's lawyers then complained in a Southern District of New York trial court that the Democratic D.A. is on a "fishing expedition." The case was dismissed, prompting Trump to appeal the decision in the 2nd Circuit.

In his first legal victory since the saga began, a New York federal appeals court held off a lower ruling that the President would have to comply with the subpoena while he waited for his appeal.

After years of resistance and legal battles from Trump regarding his tax returns, Democratic nominee Joe Biden asked why Trump was working so hard to conceal them.

Some claimed to have answers.





Trump's lawyers argued this week that release of his tax returns would do "irreparable harm" to the President.

Others echoed Biden's calls for Trump's transparency.




It is highly unlikely that the tax returns will be granted to prosecutors before election day, and even less likely that they'd be publicly disclosed by them any time in 2020.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
