Mnuchin: Trump has 'no intention' of releasing tax returns

By JULIE BYKOWICZ and JILL COLVIN
Today

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump "has no intention" of releasing his tax returns to the public, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said Wednesday, asserting Americans have "plenty of information" about the president's financial matters.

For decades, presidents have released their tax returns. But Trump has so far refused, saying that he would share the tax documents only after the Internal Revenue Service completes an "audit" of them.

He's never disclosed proof of an audit and tax lawyers say there's nothing preventing him from releasing his returns if he's under one.

Trump said before he launched his campaign that he'd release them if he ever ran for office.

Trump's going to benefit from his budget, we all know this, but how much, how so, etc the Congress and American public needs to know before making an informed decision IMO.
