House Ways and Means Chairman Richard E. Neal makes announcement Friday
House Ways and Means Chairman Richard E. Neal announced Friday he had issued subpoenas to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig to provide President Donald Trump’s tax returns.
The Massachusetts Democrat first asked for six years of Trump’s tax returns and six years of returns from eight of the president’s businesses in an April 3 letter to Rettig. Mnuchin, who oversees the IRS, responded that he was considering the request while making arguments as to why Neal was not entitled to the documents.
Neal rejected those arguments in an April 13 letter, and on May 6, Mnuchin formally rejected the Massachusetts Democrat’s request.
