House panel gets Trump tax returns

The House Ways and Means Committee has obtained former President Donald Trump's tax returns, years after first demanding he hand them over.

Multiple outlets have reported that the Department of the Treasury has complied with the House Ways and Means Committee's request for the documents.

Trump had for years attempted to deny the documents to the House committee, though the Supreme Court earlier this month ended the dispute by ordering their surrender to lawmakers.

The handover came at the eleventh hour, as Republicans would have likely withdrawn the request when they take over control of the lower chamber in January.

Netanyahu on Kanye Kerfuffle: “Donald Trump Did Great Things for Israel”

Incoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Donald Trump over charges he had “dined with antisemites” in the wake of the Kanye “Ye” West blowup. Netanyahu also smacked down the radical anti-Semitic Democrat Party as “governed by the radical fringe”.

Speaking to ex-NYT editor Bari Weiss, Netanyahu said that the former President had made a “mistake,” which he hoped he would not repeat, referring to Trump meeting with Kanye West, Milo Yiannopoulos, Karen Giorno and Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago last Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Netanyahu praised Trump, a family friend, for what he did for Israel during his time in office.

Bari Weiss: “Last week, Donald Trump had dinner at Mar-a-Lago, his home in Florida, with Kanye West and a Holocaust denier named Nick Fuentes. Now, Trump has claimed he doesn’t know who Nick Fuentes is, but he certainly knows who Kanye is, who has spent the past many weeks on an antisemitic tear. What do you think of Trump’s decision to have dinner with Kanye and Fuentes? “

Benjamin Netanyahu: “Well, first, I condemned Kanye West’s antisemitic statements. Straight away, I thought that was just wrong and misplaced. And I think that that’s what I would say about President Trump’s decision to dine with this person I think is wrong and misplaced. I think it’s a mistake. He shouldn’t do that. He has been a tremendous supporter of Israel, and I’m unabashedly appreciative of what he did for Israel. He did great things for Israel in recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, long overdue, given that it happened 3,000 years ago under King David. He moved the American embassy there. He recognized our sovereignty on the Golan Heights, from which we were attacked for years by Syria. He got out of this dangerous Iran deal, and I appreciate all that it doesn’t take away from. Also, you know, he’s been very supportive of the Jewish people. So I think he made a mistake. I hope it’s not repeated. That’s all I can tell you.”
