After the vote, Congresswoman S\u00e1nchez issued the following statement:\n\n\"As a senior member on the Ways and Means Committee, part of my job is safeguarding our tax code and ensuring that tax laws are applied evenly and fairly to all, regardless of wealth or power,\" said Congresswoman Linda T. S\u00e1nchez. \"Tonight's decision comes after four years of this Committee's work to review how the IRS enforces compliance with federal tax laws by a president. Our review found that under the prior administration, the program was dormant and failed to address the complexity of the president's situation.\"\n\nCongresswoman S\u00e1nchez continued: \"Releasing the findings of our investigation, coupled with our proposed legislation to ensure the IRS has the capacity to do its job fairly, will help ensure no one is above the law. I thank Chairman Richard Neal and my colleagues on this Committee for their commitment to ensuring that our tax laws are fair for all across the board \u2014 from working families to former presidents.\"\n\nThe Committee's report is available HERE, and JCT's report (Attachment I) is available HERE.\n\nChairman Neal's Presidential Tax Filings and Audit Transparency Act of 2022(Attachment J).\n\nAttachment A, Attachment B, Attachment C, Attachment D, Attachment F, Attachment G, & Attachment H.\n\nAttachment E will be made available on the Committee's website as soon as possible.\n\nThe vote to go into Executive Session was 23-16, and the vote to transmit the documents to the House was 24-16.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://lindasanchez.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/s-nchez-statement-ways-means-committee-decision-publicly-release"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5453118830919266, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
