Treasury’s inspector general is investigating how the department handled a request from Congress to turn over President Donald Trump’s tax returns, which was rejected by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal “has asked Treasury OIG to inquire into the process by which the department received, evaluated, and responded to the committee’s request for federal tax information. We are undertaking that inquiry,” acting Inspector General Rich Delmar said in a statement.
