The move would escalate the ongoing war with the president over his most sensitive financial documents.
Democrats’ effort to obtain the president’s tax returns is just one front of a multi-faceted battle with the administration over investigations that have ramped up dramatically in recent weeks after Trump ordered his administration not to cooperate. The House Judiciary Committee will vote Wednesday on whether to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt over his refusal to turn over the unredacted Mueller report and underlying evidence.
“There’s several options,” Pelosi said when asked about holding Mnuchin in contempt or even arresting him. “One of them is to go directly to court.” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the No. 5 House leader, said senior Democrats are still weighing their options when it comes to Trump’s tax returns but expects them to decide quickly after the Barr contempt vote.
Neal said the latest New York Times story on Trump tax returns from 1985 to 1994, which showed Trump piled up almost $1.2 billion in losses over a decade to help offset his income taxes, helps make Democrats’ case. Neal, however made clear he’s not seeking tax returns this old.
