Congressman Bill Pascrell (NJ-9), who has lead an effort to force Trump to release his tax returns, is scheduled to appear.

"We demand that our elected officials listen to us, their constituents, and demand that we find out the truth from a nonpartisan commission," said Uyen Khoung, executive director of Action Together New Jersey. "We want to know if there are any conflicts of interest to the business dealings that could compromise how [the president] carries out his duties to the American taxpayers, and we will only know that if we can see his tax returns."
