Trump refuses to release tax returns while under audit
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday held steady in his refusal to publicly release his tax returns, despite mounting pressure in Congress that is likely to spur a legal battle for the documents to be disclosed.
“I would love to give them, but I’m not going to do it while I’m under audit. It’s very simple,” Trump told reporters. On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said that Treasury Department lawyers had held “informational” discussions with the White House about an expected request for the returns.
