A Reagan-appointed federal appellate judge suggested Donald Trump could return to the Oval Office after considering the case regarding the release of his tax returns.
Judge Karen Henderson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said:
“We have a situation that involves a sitting President and a former President.”
“If this drags out, for all we know he could be a sitting president again.”
Henderson is one of three judges on the appeals court that is considering whether a Trump-appointed lower court judge was correct in throwing out the former president’s attempt to block the House Ways and Means Committee from obtaining both his and his business’s IRS records.

The lower court judge, Trevor McFadden, noted that the separation of powers between the judiciary and the legislative branches prevented the court from blocking Congress’s attempt to obtain Trump’s tax returns.
However, the appeals court focused on the separation of powers between the executive branch and Congress, and whether this should determine if the legislative branch can get the former president’s IRS records.
The news comes weeks after Trump told thousands of supporters at the Florida Live Arena in Sunrise for the American Freedom Tour that he would soon be back.
Trump told the crowd he would return and that America would be better than ever.
“You had a president that always put America first,” Trump told supporters.
“I will be back, and we [America] will be better and stronger than ever before.”

Last year, Trump admitted America is getting to a point where we really have no “choice” but for him to run for president again.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Trump was asked about his rumored White House bid in 2024.
“I don’t think we’re going to have a choice,” Trump told Fox News.
Trump added Biden was “an incompetent person as the leader of our country” and described his administration as “divisive.”
“They keep telling everyone how they want to get together, to be inclusive – they’re not inclusive,” Trump said.
“They are very, very dividing and divisive.”
”It is disgraceful.”
Former White House advisor Jason Miller said Trump would “definitely” run for president in 2024.
Miller told Cheddar News:
“I would say the likelihood is somewhere between 99 and 100%.
“I think he’s definitely running in 2024.”
