White House minister Sandas on Sunday beat members of Congress if not & # 39; smart enough & # 39; to read the 10-year tax returns that democratic legislators have asked President Donald Trump.
& # 39; I don't think Congress – especially this group of congressmen and women – is smart enough to browse through the thousands of pages that I would assume President Trump's taxes will be. Most of my guests don't do their own taxes. And I certainly don't trust them to look through the decades of success the president has and to determine everything, & she said on & # 39; Fox News Sunday. & # 39;
She was also clear that the president would not give up his tax reforms.
& # 39; The President has been clear from the start – as long as his tax is under control, he will not release it & # 39 ;, she said.
And she attacked the part of the law that Democrats were requesting the President's return, which is a provision that allows Congress to ask for tax forms to see how changes to the tax code can affect people's returns.
& # 39; This has nothing to do with determining policy or not. This is all about political bias. This is a dangerous, dangerous road, & she said.
Rep. Richard Neal, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, gave the IRS until April 23 to surrender President Trump's return and tell the tax authorities that the law clearly conferred on Congress.
If the government does not respond within the stipulated period, the dispute can be submitted to the federal court.
Neal & # 39; s question on Saturday came after the Trump administration asked to spend more time on its original request last week.
Neal, a Massachusetts democrat, claims that a 1920 law says that the IRS & # 39; every tax return requested by Congress & # 39; must provide, is unambiguous and does not raise complicated legal issues & # 39; and that the objections from the Ministry of Finance are unfounded.
Rep. Richard Neal, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, gave the IRS until April 23 to return President Donald Trump's tax returns
Trump has said that he will not release his tax returns because he is under control
The letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig is the latest exchange in a fight for Trump returns, which would give legislators a much greater understanding of the president's business transactions and potential conflicts of interest while exercising his supervisory role.
In 2016, Trump refused to provide his tax information as a candidate and as president there is something that nominees traditionally do in the name of transparency.
During the campaign, Trump said he wanted to release his winnings, but said he was under a routine audit: & # 39; I can't. & # 39;
Being under control is not a legal obstacle for someone who releases his or her return. And after the November mid-term elections, Trump claimed during a press conference that the documents were too complicated to be understood by people.
IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig will have until 23 April to meet the new demand
Rep. Richard Neal, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, wrote the letter
On a Tuesday morning question about whether a regulation prohibited a taxpayer from disclosing returns during an audit, Rettig asked & # 39; no & # 39 ;.
The problem certainly seems to end in the federal court. In view of a legal challenge, Neal told Rettig that he has two weeks to respond – by 5 pm on April 23.
If Rettig does not do this, Neal says he will deny the request, which may pave the way for a lawsuit. Neal is also looking for the return through a summons.
Finance Minister Steven Mnuchin, who oversees the IRS, told Neal last week that he needs more time to consider the unprecedented demand for Trump's return and to discuss this with the Justice Department.
Mnuchin accused the legislators of looking for Trump's proceeds for political reasons. But he also acknowledged his & # 39; legal responsibilities & # 39; and respects the supervision by the US Congress.
Some treasure guards note that Mnuchin's decision to consult with the Department of Justice might suggest that Treasury lawyers believe that Neal has a legal right to Trump's proceeds.
Neal said Saturday that the administration has no right to question or guess his motivations.
