23 apr 2019 anni - Mnuchin sends Neal a letter expressing "some of the legal concerns" the administration has with his request for Trump's tax returns.

Descrizione:

He says a decision will not be made on producing the returns until the Treasury Department receives a legal opinion from the Justice Department on May 6. The letter, which reads like a legal brief, calls into question the legality of the request and says it is politically motivated. IRS Commissioner Rettig sends a separate letter to Neal in which he says Justice Department review is "beyond the scope of internal revenue laws," leaving him unsure of what to do. Earlier in the day, White House spokesman Hogan Gidley says the Trump administration will reject requests for Trump's returns because of Trump's claim he is under audit.[152] No law actually prevents tax returns from being released due to an audit, as emphasized by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
