GOP Senator on Democrats' efforts to obtain Trump tax returns: “It must really suck to be that dumb'
During an appearance on CNN's"The Lead," Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana suggested that it was"dumb" and"inappropriate" for Democrats to go after President Donald Trump's tax returns.
Neal cited a provision of the federal tax code that gives the chairman the power to request and examine an individual’s tax returns in a closed session. Since securing the nomination, Trump has repeatedly said he won’t release his returns because he is under audit—walking back previous declarations made before he campaigned that he would release the documents. Technically, the president could furnish the documents at any time, as the IRS does not forbid a person under audit from releasing tax returns.
In a Friday letter to the Treasury Department, Trump attorney William Consovoy argued that Neal's request served no"legitimate committee purpose."
