Mnuchin Says It's 'Unlawful' to Give Democrats Trump's Tax Returns

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said it would be “unlawful” to give President Donald Trump’s tax returns to Congress and asserted that a confidential IRS draft memo revealed on Tuesday didn’t contradict him.

“If I had turned them over, I would have been violating the law,” Mnuchin told the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday.

The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Richard Neal, has demanded six years of Trump’s returns under a law allowing him to make such requests. The 10-page IRS memo, first reported by the Washington Post, concluded Treasury had no choice but to turn over the documents.

Mnuchin said he relied on advice from the Department of Justice, which told him turning over the returns would violate the Constitution.

9. He's lying because that's . . .

what this Administration does. All the time. Every time one of their mouthpieces move their lips. Lies, obfuscation and sowing confusion in the public mind. The lies are a means of obscuring the truth: these people are flat-out criminals.
