Mnuchin Again Refuses to Release Trump’s Tax Returns

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin again refused to release Donald Trump’s tax returns to House Democrats, arguing that the Democrats’ stated legislative purpose hides their real intent -- to expose the president’s personal and business financial records to the public.

Mnuchin met House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal’s Tuesday deadline to respond to his second request for the tax returns, but only by saying he would give a final response by May 6, when the Justice Department is expected to have completed its review of the request.
