U.S. Treasury’s Mnuchin defies House subpoena for Trump’s tax returns

Steven Mnuchin, U.S. Treasury Secretary said on Friday that he would not meet a congressional request to provide six years of United States President Donald Trump’s tax returns, all but guaranteeing a federal court battle with Congress over the records.

On Friday, Mnuchin said in a letter to the House Ways and Richard Neal, Means Committee Chairman who subpoenaed Trump’s individual and business returns a week ago and set a 5 p.m. deadline for their delivery, “We are unable to provide the requested information.”

Mnuchin restated his contention that Neal’s panel is yet to have a legitimate legislative purpose for getting the tax returns, a claim Democrats reject.
