Treasury expected to miss Dem deadline on Trump tax returns
The Trump administration is expected to miss the Wednesday deadline set by Democrats to hand over President Trumps tax returns, raising the odds that the battle will turn into a lengthy court fight.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin testified to two congressional committees on Tuesday, telling lawmakers the White House had discussed the tax-return issue with Treasurys legal department before Democrats asked for the documents. Mnuchin said he personally had not spoken to Trump over the tax returns.
Trump has said he cannot make the records public because of an audit, and his acting chief of staff on Sunday publicly said the administration will never hand them over to Democrats.
Mnuchin was much more reserved in his remarks, telling reporters that it would be a good guess that the administration would reply to Democrats by Wednesday in some form.
