Ways and Means Democrats, House attorneys anticipate court fight over access to the president’s tax records.
By Damian Paletta and Damian Paletta Reporter covering economic policy Email Bio Follow Erica Werner Erica Werner Congressional reporter focusing on economic policy Email Bio Follow March 5 at 9:21 AM Congressional Democrats are likely to request 10 years of President Trump’s tax returns in coming weeks, tailoring their inquiry in a way they hope will survive a court battle, according to according to lawmakers and others involved in the discussions.
Trump has made clear to associates that he has no plans to allow Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to turn over his personal tax records, according to three people who have been briefed on the discussions but spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The 1924 law does not appear to give Mnuchin much flexibility to deny a congressional request, as the law says he “shall” turn over the records.
Congressional leaders have never used the 1924 law to seek the tax returns of a sitting U.S. president, but there has also not been a president in recent history who has refused to voluntarily disclose his tax returns.
Steve Moore, who was an economic adviser to Trump during the 2016 campaign, said he advised Trump to “never, ever, ever, ever release his tax returns.”
