FULL TITLE: House Democrats give IRS hard deadline of April 23 to turn over Trump tax returns, say administrations concerns lack merit
House Democrats are giving the Trump administration a hard-deadline of April 23 to turn over President Trumps tax returns, pushing back against Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchins skepticism over their request for the presidents private records.
House Ways and Means Committee Chair Richard E. Neal (D-Mass.) on Saturday sent a two-page letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig rebuffing Mnuchins statement earlier this week that Treasury would miss House Democrats initial April 10 deadline for the returns.
Mnuchins concerns lack merit, Neal wrote.
Neals latest letter sets the stage for a further escalation in the conflict between Congress and the White House, as legal experts have suggested that an outright denial of their request by Mnuchin could be followed by subpoenas or a lawsuit in federal court. Mnuchin so far has only postponed responding to Democrats request and said he would confer with the Justice Department, but not yet rejected it.
Please know that, if you fail to comply, your failure will be interpreted as a denial of my request, Neals letter states.

Release the names of the congressmen who have used MY money to pay off their sexual assault/harrassment claims.
We, taxpayers, deserve better and are ENTITLED to this knowledge.
The IRS is no longer an Arm of the Dem Party
I’d laugh if they all got audited.
OK, request denied asshole.
This.
Bronco also used FBI, DHS against people.
I am proof.
The time for playing nice with these shitbirds is over. Take the gloves off and go full offense!
Whoa! that last is a bridge too far. The Constitution does not require the Speaker of the House to be a member of the House. So your logic would imply that everyones tax return must be released.
What are the d@mocr@t$ trying to divert our attention from?
Dear Dems, Your request has been temporarily denied. Please resubmit in 90 days for final denial.
