Lawyers for Donald Trump urged a federal judge Wednesday to block the Treasury Department and the IRS from, to examine how the IRS audits presidents, is simply a pretext for wanting to look for something embarrassing, they said in a filing in federal court in Washington, D.C., adding that the legal authority invoked by Congress has never been used against a president, a former president or any elected official.
The committee chairman's request "bore little resemblance to an effort to investigate how the IRS audits presidents. It asked for the information of only one president, asked for open files for which audits have not been completed, and never asked the IRS for the most relevant information — namely, how it audits presidents,” they said.
Trump's lawyers said Congress has no general power to investigate individual citizens and cannot demand personal, confidential information the way a law enforcement organization can. In a 2019 opinion, the Office of Legal Counsel agreed and said the congressional demand was invalid. But it reversed course last week and said that earlier conclusion failed to give a coordinate branch of government the "respect and deference" it was due.
Just look at him, he's an embarrassment.
Well if there's nothing in them that's embarrassing why keep fighting is the question that most Americans want to know.
Trump who?
The pretext is an approved legislated reason... finding something embarrassing would just be a bonus.
They always looking for something on Trump,,, what about Obama Birth Certificate they never investigate that ,,, tell me if that's fair
So he just ADMITTED there is something embarrassing? Got it....
He’s the only president and person that was in a general presidential election in the modern era not to release his/her taxes.
