Republicans criticized efforts to obtain Trump's tax returns and accused Democrats of weaponizing the IRS. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy warned the request 'sets a dangerous standard of having the federal government used as a political weapon.'
Congressional Republicans on Thursday criticized efforts by House Democrats to obtain President Donald Trump's tax returns with House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy warning that the request"sets a dangerous standard of having the federal government used as a political weapon" and dismissing the move as"a waste of time."
McCarthy reacted during his weekly news conference to the news that House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal has now formally requested the President's tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service by accusing the committee of having"voted yesterday to weaponize the IRS to attack political opponents.""Not only is it a waste of time, it sets a dangerous standard of having the federal government used as a political weapon," McCarthy warned.
