Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin has made it official: The administration won’t be turning President Trump’s tax returns over to the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives. Mnuchin told Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal in a Monday letter that the committee’s request “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose.”The move, which was expected, is sure to set in motion a legal battle over Trump’s tax returns. The chief options available to Democrats now are to subpoena the IRS for the returns or to file a lawsuit.
Neal originally demanded access to Trump’s tax returns in early April under a law that says the IRS “shall furnish” the returns of any taxpayer to a handful of top lawmakers, including the chair of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee.Analysis and breaking news from our award-winning journalists in Sacramento and Washington, D.C.
