House GOP rebuffs bill to release Trump tax returns and visitor logs
House Republicans rebuffed an effort by Democrats on Thursday to force a vote on legislation that would require President Trump to release his tax returns and visitor logs.
Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) offered a resolution through a procedural motion that was defeated along party lines, 230-193. Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), who has called on Trump to release his tax returns, was the sole Republican to vote with Democrats.
Clark's measure would have ordered Trump to provide the House with his tax returns and visitor logs for both the White House and Mar-a-Lago, the south Florida resort where Trump has spent spent several weekends as president.
It also would direct the General Services Administration to provide the House Oversight Committee with documents supporting its conclusion last month that Trump's Washington hotel can keep its lease with the federal government, despite its prohibition on elected officials sharing in the agreement.
