BREAKING: House Democrats formally ask Treasury Department for Trump's tax returns
"It is critical to ensure the accountability of our government and elected officials. To maintain trust in our democracy, the American people must be assured that their government is operating properly, as laws intend.,” House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, D-Massachusetts, wrote in a statement.
Mnuchin told lawmakers last month that the Treasury will “follow the law” and review any request. Trump, who has long considered any examination of his personal finances a red line for investigators, is expected to aggressively challenge Democrats’ request in court. Trump has said he continues to be under audit from the Internal Revenue Service, which the agency will not confirm or deny.
Democrats requested six years of Trump’s personal tax returns under a 1924 provision of the tax code requiring the Treasury secretary to “furnish” any individual’s tax return information to the chairs of three congressional committees “upon written request.”
