Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., says requests for President Donald Trump's tax returns are coming soon.
"Within some days or weeks that request will be made," Rep. Kildee told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"We don't expect that they will respond affirmatively, but the public has an interest in knowing what the president's financial interests really are."
Trump has fought release of his returns since he announced his presidency, citing an ongoing audit. He is not required by law to release them, though previous candidates for president and vice president have voluntarily disclosed their returns.
Democrats made it a point to go after Trump's returns after they won control of the House of Representatives but have dragged their feet so far.
"We are going through the process," said Kildee, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee.
"We had a hearing to establish clearly our legal authority to acquire these returns, which dates back to a law that followed the Teapot Dome scandal and we're laying a factual basis to make it clear that there's a public interest in having access to these returns."
