House Ways and Means Chair Has No Plans to Acquire Trump’s New York Tax Records

HeadlineJun 07, 2019

Meanwhile, the Democratic chair of the House Ways and Means Committee is coming under fire from his own party after he told Bloomberg News he has no plans to use a recently passed New York state law to acquire President Trump’s tax records. Congressmember Richard Neal says he’s worried the request would “bolster Trump administration arguments that Congress is on a political fishing expedition.” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has defied congressional requests to turn over Trump’s tax records, and Trump remains the only president or major presidential candidate in modern U.S. history to refuse to make tax returns public.
