Rep. Bill Pascrell, an outspoken advocate of getting President Donald Trump’s tax returns, lashed out today at what he considers administration stonewalling.
Congress could hold Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in contempt for failing to meet a Wednesday deadline for delivering Trump's returns to House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, Pascrell, a senior Ways and Means member, told POLITICO. He also said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig should consider stepping down.Mnuchin late Wednesday punted on turning over the returns to Neal , who a week earlier demanded the IRS deliver them by April 10.
“I want to take a look at contempt of Congress here,” Pascrell said, “because the way Mnuchin talked and the way he writes, he’s very dismissive of the legislative branch of government, particularly if that part of the legislative branch of government is controlled by the Democratic Party.”Sign Up By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.

Treasury secretaries have long deferred to the head of the IRS on these matters, numerous congressional Democrats told Rettig in two days of testimony on Capitol Hill this week, but Rettig repeatedly said Treasury supervises the IRS.
