With Trump out of office, the Biden administration decides if Congress can have his taxes.

The Biden administration has been given two weeks to decide whether or not to drop the previous administration's opposition to releasing Donald Trump's tax returns, The Washington Post reported.

In 2019, Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee sued to obtain the former president's IRS filings. On Friday, the US judge in the case, Trevor McFadden, elected to give the new president's team some time to reconsider what government lawyers will argue in the case.

A key objection to handing over the returns was that it would violate the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches of government. With Trump no longer president, this no longer applies, the Post noted.

That should be the headline, after Biden authorizes it.
45 did promise to release them, so the Biden Whitehouse should help him keep that promise.
