‘s tax returns will never be handed over to Democratic lawmakers, White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said on Sunday, defying an effort in Congress to learn more about the real estate mogul’s personal finances. Asked on “Fox News Sunday” if congressional Democrats will succeed in obtaining the Republican president’s, Mulvaney said: “No, never. Nor should they.” He dismissed an effort to obtain the returns, launched on Wednesday by U.S.
Democrats are demanding that the IRS turn over the documents. That is not going to happen, and they know it. This is a political stunt, Mulvaney said. Democrats countered that Neal’s request to the Treasury Department for Trump’s returns is grounded in law and a needed inquiry, given Trump’s refusal to disclose his tax records and to divest himself of his business interests.
“This is a legitimate authority that the Congress has. This president, by the way, is the least transparent president that we’ve had in half a century,” Democratic Representative DanKildee, a tax committee member, told ABC’s “This Week.” Democratic Representative Ben Ray Lujan noted that presidents for decades have voluntarily released their income tax returns.
“This is not political, as our Republican colleagues are making it out to be,” he told “Fox News Sunday.” An attorney for Trump on Friday blasted House Democrats’ request for six years of Trump’s personal and business returns as “a misguided attempt” to politicize the tax laws, accusing lawmakers of harassment and interference in IRS audits. In a statement that mapped out the legal battlefield ahead,Trump lawyer, William Consovoy, said the request filed by Nealflouts “constitutional constraints.
One of many investigations targeting Trump on Capitol Hilland in the U.S. court system, the House Democrats’ probe into the president’s tax returns could pull back the curtain on his business empire and his reputation as a deal maker.
