Gidley, asked about acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney'sstatement Sunday that Democrats would 'never' see Trump's tax returns, toldFox News that Mulvaney was '100% correct
Hogan Gidley, the White House principal deputy press secretary, said Monday that neither Congress nor the public has the right to see President Donald Trump’s tax returns as Democratic lawmakers fight to obtain them from the Treasury Department.
In his letter to the Treasury Department, which oversees the IRS, Neal cited a 1924 law that states the treasury secretary “shall furnish ... any return or return information specified” in a request from the head of the House or Senate tax-writing committees. The law gives Congress the right to see the tax returns of any private citizen.“The public has no right to see those,” Gidley told Fox News.
But a Pew Research Poll conducted in January found roughly 64% of Americans believe Trump has a responsibility to publicly release his tax returns.
