, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reiterated what he told Neal in earlier letters: The administration does not believe Democrats have a “legitimate legislative” reason for seeking the tax filings.“For the same reasons, we are unable to provide the requested information in response to the committee’s subpoena,” he said.earlier this week that he expected the dispute to be settled by the courts. Also, the administration is defying subpoenas from Democrats on several other fronts.

She could have the entire chamber vote to authorize the House general counsel, Douglas Letter, to file suit against the administration. Another potential, and likely faster, option would be to have a group of House leaders known as the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group vote to authorize the suit, though there are questions about whether that is allowable under the chamber’s rules.
Neal has been demanding six years worth of Trump’s personal tax records, along with those of several of his businesses, since early April.
Anyone who does not follow the rules and the laws should be removed from their position immediately!
Time to get media taxes and expose them ?
I didn’t read in the Constitution that surrendering ones tax returns was a requirement to become President. Strictly voluntary
Lawless administration.
Mr Trump wants ImpeachmentNOW , if his base knew all the truth would they be OK with him? Would the senate feel the same once everyone knows the truth? Impeachment hurts Trump!
America is not-I repeat not-interested in Trump’s tax papers. We are interested in Hillary’s emails, and Hillary and Obama’s corruption. We have had enough of this waste of time from the Democrats.
Trump Capone may be toppled in IRS handcuffs.
He’s a liar and a cheat. He’s worth.......ZERO
...why should the POTUS contribute to his own witch hunt? Think about it. Your Trump-bashing is a joke. agendaofhate smallbrains bias
GOOD. KEEP TELLING THEM TRUMP . THEY WILL GET THE MESSAGE THROUGH THEIR BIG THICK SCULLS AND STOP SHOWING. THE COUNTRY HOW STUPID THEY ARE .
Trump cheats on his wives, cheats on his taxes, cheats at work, and even cheats at golf. What kind of a role model is he? What is to become of the rule of law?
WhiteHouse senatemajldr Time to bring the handcuffs to the WH & arrest all who are refusing to comply This administration is NOT above the law no matter how much they think they are ImpeachDonaldTrump
Those that means I don’t have to go to court to pay my tickets
Lock him up!
Fantastic
So much for potus stance on law and order. He thinks he can pick and choose among which subpoenas to honor and which not to. Does the general population get this right or just potus? Trump’s tone from the top sets a lousy example 4 US
Your going to jail one way or another! Belting pos 🤥🤥🤥💩💩💩💩
good, they have no business with private tax returns
It's a subpoena. It can't be denied.
THEY CAN SUBPOENA THE IRS & SEE IF THEY ARE WILLLING TO BREAK THE LAWS.
Vice Chancellor and head of Austrian far-right political party resigns after video surfaces showing him negotiating bribes w/ woman he thought was part of a Russian oligarch's family. Spokespersons totally denied any wrongdoing or criminal activity. Sound familiar?
I am absolutely certain the more realDonaldTrump fights tooth and nail not to release his tax returns only reinforces my hunch he’s not this overly wealthy man. Either he’s severely in debt or he’s financially tied to entities he doesn’t want confirmed.
The Dems can’t justify their need for them. Since they didn’t get their Russia collusion fix now they’re on to the next line of attack. TDS
BLUF; in the end Trump will be incarcerated for the rest of his natural born life.
I don't think you get to reject a subpoena, if that was the case then everyone would do it. The president is NOT above the law and government officials certainly aren't. If you or I did this we would be in jail so fast our head would swim!
What is the investigation? What is the allegation? What launched if? Democrats are a joke.
I’m there for holding each and single one accountable.
This needs to go to court ASAP and if/when he refuses to follow the rule of law we will know what we’re dealing with. Will he back down and follow the court’s ruling or are we looking at Emperor Trump?
Arrest them, sue them and fine them!
But that's the point: testing Congress' will ans his power.
Lock up and fine Mnuchin. ArrestMnuchin
It's a familiar pattern: Ambitious people join with Trump, their careers and status are instantly elevated, and then they are forced to publicly renounce the ethical standards they'd held most sacred. It seems that very soon Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh will have their turn.
Arrest Trump!
What is Trump so afraid of?
Boy there is some Goooood stuff in those returns for him to fight like Hell to keep them from the public.
what can this fraud be hiding? ObstructionOfJustice oneterm jailtrumpfamily
The Democratic will need to do something in return.
Politico rejects honest reporting.
So do the people of America have the opinion to reject any subpoena that issued? The law can’t be for some and not for all. Your office nor title should exclude you from the law. Smh
If you watched the CNN report on how Trump’s business works & how Trump makes money then you Realize it’s through Fraud, Corruption, Lying, providing false information to unsuspecting buyers. Then after Trump & his Family have sold their lies the building goes Bankrupt. Trump
There is a jail cell to correct that problem.
Who's liking this? This defies democracy.
Good-the broken Dem Party would only use the tax returns to initiate more investigations and subpoenas. America is tired of obstructionism.
And the dems responded with, 'Oh, please, please, pretty please, will you let us have them' right? ImpeachTrump
They will eventually come out & everyone will get to see what most of us have known all along! Who loaned/gave him money?
So the GOP digs this rich, white boy, thug mentality huh? I knew the election of tRump was partly this fear based reaction of a niche population scared to live w/o the good ol’ boys club but wow! Still growing irrelevant and outnumbered in the big picture.
Oh is THAT how it works? You just ignore the subpoena and it goes away? Good to know
Good. The house is currently controlled by petulant children who have done nothing on behalf of America. They are obstructing, demonizing, self-serving and illegitimate.
Good. This Dem bloodlust will never end.
You mean it might have to go to the Supreme court. Never saw that coming.
LockThemUp LockThemAllUp
Obstruction in plain view. realDonaldTrump some of us are keeping track. And many of us will remember in 2020. POTUS We'll also remember you were aided and abetted by LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr William Barr, SenateGOP HouseGOP RepDevinNunes and others.
His tax returns are his business, and his alone
Neal should have anticipated this and have had Mnuchin picked up on the spot for defying the subpoena—THAT would send a message
You should call it what it is right in the headline: Trump administration commits crime of disobedience of subpoena.
They need to stop pussyfooting around and actually do something. ArrestMnuchin ImpeachTrump
So now what? Are the Democrats just postering or are they actually going to do something? The spineless Dems are no different from the spineless GOP.
Welp, send Mnuchin to jail.
perp walk the mofo stevenmnuchin1
Impeach. Him.
They will never see them, WINNING!!!!!!!!
