Former U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance on Tuesday explained why the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee waited weeks to file a lawsuit after Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin refused to obey the law and hand over President Donald Trumps tax returns.
On Tuesday, Chairman Richard Neal (D-MA) announced that his committee is suing the Treasury department which failed to produce six years of Trumps tax returns.
The lawsuit comes after Mnuchin rejected a request for the presidents tax returns in May.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Vance noted that courts are not designed for instant gratification.
[Chairman] Neal took time to get the govts position locked in, giving Mnuchin enough rope to hang himself & establishing theres no legitimate legal basis to w/hold Trump taxes, she wrote. Lawsuits arent on an instant gratification timeline, which is frustrating but important to understand.
