WASHINGTON ¨C U.S. President Donald Trump is unlikely hand over his tax returns to lawmakers despite a Tuesday congressional deadline facing the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service, a White House spokesman said on Tuesday.
¡°As I understand it, the president¡¯s pretty clear: Once he¡¯s out of audit, he¡¯ll think about doing it, but he¡¯s not inclined to do so at this time,¡± White House spokesman Hogan Gidley told Fox News in an interview.
Rep. Richard Neal, Democratic chairman of the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee, requested six years of Trump¡¯s individual and business returns on April 3 and has set a final deadline of 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT) on Tuesday, informing IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig in a letter that failure to comply would be viewed as a denial.
