The U.S. Treasury Department on Tuesday again missed a deadline set by congressional Democrats to comply with their demand for President Donald Trump’s personal and business tax returns. Secretary Steven Mnuchin said they need until May 6 to review the request and to continue consulting with the Justice Department about whether they will ultimately comply.
It's not yet known what action the Committee will take, but the delay or ultimate refusal could lead to a lengthy legal battle.Ways and Means member Dan Kildee, a Democrat, told Newsweek prior to the 5 p.m. deadline that any refusal to provide Trump’s taxes would eventually “end up before a judge, no matter what” the Committee's next step may be. But the specifics on how exactly they get there, whether it be by issuing subpoenas or filing a lawsuit, is still yet to be determined.
Neal's office did not respond to Newsweek's inquiries throughout the day Tuesday about what action will next be taken by the chairman. However, Mnuchin has questioned whether Congress is outside their “constitutional scope” and “the legitimacy of the asserted legislative purpose and the constitutional rights of American citizens,” as he said after the department missed the first deadline to hand over Trump's taxes. The top Republican on the Ways and Means Committee, Kevin Brady, previously called the Democrats’ demand a “political fishing expedition.
“As I understand it, the president has been pretty clear: once he’s out of office, he’ll think about doing it. But he’s not inclined to do so at this time," Gidley said."It’s already been litigated in the court of public opinion and in the election. No one cares about ridiculous charges about tax returns."
One could easily get carried away and forget that Trump and the Republicans are in power, and not the Democrats who painfully lost a hard fought Presidential election and are still licking their fresh wounds
The Democrats should leave the issue alone!!! These people are mad!! Jealous!! And hold personal grudges. Also they are owned by special interest!!!
Clearly the Supreme Court is going to have to decide this matter.
Should've just got a subpoena

Administration misses second deadline on congressional request for Trump’s tax returnsBreaking: The Trump administration just missed a second deadline to turn over the president’s taxes. This is intensifying a standoff that will likely wind up in court. 'Hello, 2016? Your irrelevant issue is calling!' The taxes WILL come out. If the supreme court rules to let them stay secret, they need to remember that the next time a democratic president refuses to cooperate with any oversight. Be careful what you wish for.

IRS fails to meet congressional deadline to hand over Trump tax returnsThe outcome, which was widely expected, could prompt House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal to subpoena Trump's tax records as the opening salvo to a legal fight that may ultimately have to be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Deadline for Trump's tax returns to Capitol Hill: White House says returns won't be releasedAs of Tuesday afternoon, the Treasury Department, which oversees the IRS, had not addressed Ways and Means Committee chairman Richard Neal's deadline. Take the hint. Rules, standards, expectations, legal obligation and ‘how things should be’ don’t mean shit. They’ve already been destroyed. Welcome to the Wild Wild West of the political world. We make the rules here - and the GOP has no rules other than to cover for the leader by any means necessary. They ain’t getting it.
