(CNN) In attacking the fight to obtain Trump's tax returns, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders argued that members of Congress aren't smart enough to understand them anyway. But three Democratic members of Congress are trained as certified public accountants -- professionals licensed by their states to do just that. The Congressional Research Service said there are 10 accountants in this Congress, including two senators and eight House members. Sanders' comments came Sunday as she argued against Democrats' recent push to obtain President Trump's tax returns. The accountants' expertise may be relevant in the coming fight over Trump's tax returns, which is setting up to become a major legal battle.
