Pascrell Hammers Trump Tax Stonewall

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09), a member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, reacted with defiance to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s latest refusal to comply with Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal’s (D-MA-01) request for Donald Trump’s tax returns pursuant to the chairman’s clear power under 26 U.S. Code § 6103(f).

“This is a turning point. There are no more letters to be written. Trump and his protectors think our entire federal government exists to protect Trump’s interests and that Congress is a nothing but a vestigial structure. They are dead wrong on both counts. We will see them in federal court and will pursue any avenue we can to bring this lawless administration to respect our Constitution. This is now a constitutional crisis.”
