Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin signals he won't comply with subpoena for Trump tax returns
There is a "difference in interpretation between Congress and us," Mnuchin testified Wednesday morning at the hearing. "That not only impacts this president and this Congress, but has a very big impact on every single taxpayer in weaponizing the IRS."
Mnuchin also testified that he has had no conversations with Trump or anyone else in the White House about the issue of whether to release Trump's tax returns. But he said he has spoken with IRS and Treasury legal teams, as well as with Rettig, who "independently concurred with my decisions."
