Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday refused to say whether he’d turn over President Donald Trump’s tax returns to Democratic lawmakers, foreshadowing a long legal fight ahead.
But the administration has made no secret of its intention to fight the demand. Trump has said he won't fork over the documents since he remains under audit, his personal lawyers have questioned the legal legitimacy of Neal’s request and Mulvaney said Democrats would never see Trump’s tax returns.

Republicans said Democrats have no policy basis for demanding the returns, which is likely to be an issue raised by the administration in an expected court battle over the request.
nomiprins In all seriousness it’s been 3 years since he said he’s being audited. So if he was being audited way before debates 3 yrs ago how is the audit not finished. 4 year ira audit? That’s guilt right there.
schnook mnuchn dodesn't have any choice as to whether he'll turn oover the trumpster's returns. it's the law schmuck.
Law
If Mnuchin thinks that Trump will thank him for stonewalling Congress, he should look at the history of all those that Trump has thrown under the bus.
He needs to heed advice from ICE supervisors at the border 'you may take on personal liability if you undertake the illegal actions advised by POTUS...' WorstPresidentEver
Lock him up! Send him to the chair! 2,000 volts!
He should be impeached and removed.
Well if he doesn't its not his words that count its his actions. We once had a Constitution, Judges, Congress, independent institutions that protected We the People and our nation against such a corrupt administration. Where are they now?
🙄I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do. James Baldwin
LockHimUp
It’s. Not. His. Decision.
They should be turned over period. It is the law, They turned over Obama's organization info to the GOP when requested right away and Obama also released his personal taxes. I am sick of the GOP double standard.
Why doesn't Stevarino just order a speed-up of the IRS 'audit' so we can get this thing rolling?
