"There is a difference in interpretation between Congress and us and the Department of Justice that not only impacts the President in this Congress but has a very big impact on every single taxpayer in weaponizing the IRS," Mnuchin, told a Senate appropriations subcommittee."This is why there are three branches of government so if there is a difference of opinion, this will go to the third branch of government to be resolved.
The back-and-forth comes just days ahead of the looming subpoena deadline from the House Ways and Means Committee to Treasury Secretary and the IRS Commissioner for six years of President Donald Trump’s tax returns by May 17 and came after Mnuchin ignored Democrats’ earlier request.

LOL dems get NOTHING!! AGAIN!
Forget tax returns and get to work and stop wasting our tax money.
This cabinet member said it himself that is why there are THREE separate branches of government, what he needs to understand is that he and the IRS are not branches of government and with his answer justify’s Congressional oversite and request for trumps tax documents.
Mnuchin is a ass like Trump NO regard for the rule of law.. Congress is equal to Executive and Judical branchs of Govt. Each has their own job and power to oversea certain things. Congress is the lawmaker and the WATCH DOG for all that is said and done by a President.
He is right! The witch hunt needs to end. Prosecutorial politics needs to end
Everyone should try to minimize their tax bill by using legally available provisions in the tax code. If Trump did so that would be a smart thing because not doing so would be stupidity.
Lock him up. Let’ssee how strong his resolve really is.
Then all politicians should be forced to give all information like college information, unless you’re Obama of course.
all americans have inalienable n fundamental constitutional right to tax returns-privacy. dems' request is abuse of power, unconstitutional, unprecendented, n is adverse n detrimental to all americans' constitutional rights. let our courts decide. its all abt abuse n politics.
Nadler wants Trumps taxes.
Congress can report the president to the irs for audit and in doing so they can audit every member of congress if they have paid there taxes then they will audit the president
Why isn’t Mnuchin in jail whiletjus gets decided
NEW: Pressed on Capitol Hill, Treasury Sec. Steve Mnuchin signals the battle for Pres. orange man's tax returns might ultimately have to be decided in court. 'If there is a difference of opinion, this will go to the third branch of justice league to be resolved.'
Congress should randomly be tested for drugs and alcohol abuse.
What is needed now is a Daniel Ellsberg kinda person in the IRS
Difference of opinion? More like refusal to comply with the law.
FORGET TAX RETURNS----DO SOMETHING FOR AMERICA.
stevenmnuchin1 and Charles Rettig should be fined daily in increasing amounts and put in jail until they honor the congressional subpoenas they have been served. Obstructing justice on behalf of the potus is a CRIME.
BestButterCup They are terrified of what's in those returns, and what we will learn.
President Trump's taxes are private. End of discussion.
To TRUMP appointed judges.... What is wrong here...
One branch is being obstructed by another branch that has no business obstructing it. Why get a third branch involved?
