First White House petition to Trump: Release your tax returns

January 22, 2017 19:13

When US President Trump took the oath of office, his administration hit the reset button on the Whitehouse.gov website, replacing former president Barack Obama's policy goals with new priorities.

But one page remains: the petition feature that allows the president's administration to respond to issues raised directly by the people.

And the people, apparently, want to see Trump's tax returns.

Less than a day after the petition was started, it eclipsed the 100,000-signature remark enough to elicit an official response.

The Executive Office of the President didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

The petition asks the administration to immediately release Donald Trump's full tax returns and says it wants Trump to not be in conflict with the emoluments clause of the Constitution.
