Treasury, IRS set to miss subpoena deadline on Trump tax returns

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Treasury Department and IRS are set to miss a Friday deadline to comply with subpoenas for Trump's tax returns, setting up a prolonged legal battle.

Democrats are examining options for their next steps. But both sides agree the matter is headed to the courts.

“I think Friday is the turning point,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.). “There’s no more letters to be written.”

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) issued subpoenas to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig last week for 6 years of Trump’s personal and business tax returns, giving them a deadline of Friday at 5 p.m.

All indications are that Treasury and the IRS won’t provide the requested documents, since Mnuchin already rejected Neal’s requests for the returns made in letters that cited Section 6103 of the federal tax code. Mnuchin said Wednesday that he expects Treasury to provide some type of response by the deadline and that “you can guess which way we’re leaning on our subpoena.”
