Treasury expected to buck Democrats' demand for Trump tax returns, again

The Trump administration on Monday was expected to continue to disregard a demand from congressional Democrats for President Donald Trump’s tax returns, setting up a potential subpoena battle as soon as this week.

Mnuchin’s was never expected to yield the tax documents by his self-imposed deadline, but Democrats perceived the move as a delay tactic to afford Justice Department lawyers time to craft a legal case for denying the request. Democrats say the law on the matter is clear. The administration has already ignored two deadlines set by Neal, and the issue is likely to eventually proceed to federal court, much like the administration’s lawsuit seeking relief from a congressional subpoena for the president’s financial records by the House Oversight and Intelligence committees.

Mnuchin contends the request is"a pretext for exposure," predicting that Neal would eventually seek to publicly release the documents, citing statements by other Democrats.

Obstruction, lies, criminal activity, etc. etc.

This will all come out when the 9th district of NY trials happen. The question then is could the head of the IRS face conspiracy charges if there are prosecutable crimes such as tax evasion that occurred and he helps shield the Pres by not releasing the information.

The idiot trump is petrified of people finding out his grades from school and the real amount he's worth. He's not worried about being a racist just his lies about money and the proof that he's dumb as a rock.

Mr president sit on your taxes like the Clinton's sat on the investigation of their bogus corporation that they financed Hillery mockery run for puppy mill queen

I don’t get it. Just show them. The only reason NOT to is guilt.

BREAKING: More than 370 former federal prosecutors -- including CREW's NoahBookbinder -- have signed on to a statement asserting Robert Mueller's findings would have produced obstruction charges against Donald Trump if he were not president.

And the constitutional crisis looms nearer. Trump is like a terrorist who commits a crime for the fame. He just wants to be remembered and he doesn't care how. realDonaldTrump LindseyGrahamSC DumpTrump

As they should

realDonaldTrump RudyGiuliani JaySekulow Trump is a powerful Commander in Chief&nobody can mess around with him.Bob fucking Mueller was a trap Obama administration pulled on Trump.They knew they couldn’t beat Trump powerful man.They back stabbed him.

Wonder what he wants to hide?

Put him in jail.

ReaIDonnaSiciIy why is this a 'potential' battle Grow a pair RepJerryNadler and just do it. What do you think will happen to you

Damn. Teflon Don part 2.

Dems need to see this through!

GET THEM! DON'T LET UP! IF OBAMA SHOW HIS BIRTH RECORD SHOW YOUR TAXS REPORT! This is our way of removing him from office. That how they got Al.

ReaIDonnaSiciIy If it has to happen, then fight Trump and his Sewer Rats to win. You don't go into battle doubting the outcome.

and they want a urine sample

Still obstructing!!!!

Golly gee, what’s he gotta hide?

what are you so afraid of? The American people have right to know what shady business you are involved with. You are a deranged leader leading the country to the abyss.

👏👏👏

The Trump crime family's days are numbered! unfit

And rightfully so! Politicians (on ALL sides) try to twist laws/regulations and government offices for purely political reasons and that crap just isn't right 😠

This is a losing issue for Leftists. TRUMP2020 MAGA 🇺🇸

So Nadler's son is working for the same law firm that is investigating Trump. I believe that is a conflict of interest...... These dems are rotten...

The is NO LAW that says he has to...period. Go play with your dolls.

Getem Trump💪

There is no reason they should see his tax returns. Not a requirement. Nadler is tasked with stretching out the Mueller report until the 2020 election to protect Hillary and Obama, who committed actual felonies.

Obama used executive privileges to safeguard Eric Holder as AG while he was in contempt. 🤔

. PUTINtrump2020 GOP = GobblingOrangePoop .

Ad I hope the House fires off subpoenas right and left.

Put that smarmy Mnuchin in jail.

The days of the FRAUDSTER are numbered. He thinks he's above the law. Soon he will be wearing white and resting at Government's Maralago 😊

Best kind of battle.

Why should president Trump give his tax papers to the Democrats.

Isn't this contempt of Congress -- and wasn't that one of the articles of impeachment against Nixon?

I'll DIE before I let them take me!!!

Nothing last forever realDonaldTrump...

Why do you continue to show this vile face?

See you in court.

Nobody cares.. 🇺🇸
