The Treasury Department responded to a “final” April 23 congressional deadline set by a top House Democrat to turn over President Donald Trump’s tax returns with a letter detailing constitutional concerns, setting the stage for a possible court battle between Congress and the administration.
The decision, which was widely expected, could potentially prompt House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) to subpoena Trump’s tax records as the opening salvo to a legal fight that may ultimately have to be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court. Neal requested six years of Trump’s individual and business tax records.
