Dem Chairman Humiliated After Attack on Trump Backfires Massively “House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, who has demanded President Donald Trump release his tax returns, claimed he had released his own returns in the past,” The Daily Caller reported Thursday. “But according to previous reports, Neal had not released these documents when previously asked.” “Neal himself, however, has not released his own tax returns when the press requested them. He previously claimed early last month, according to The Washington Times, that he would release his own returns ‘down the road,’ but his returns have yet to surface. Chairman Neal’s office did not respond to the Caller’s request for comment.” According to Fox News, Rep. Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat, formally made the request in a letter to the IRS on Wednesday. Neal asked for six years of tax returns from the president, from 2013 to 2018, including information regarding whether there were audits and what the status of those audits was. The Ways and Means Committee chairman said the request was “to ensure that the Internal Revenue Service is enforcing the laws in a fair and impartial manner.” However, don’t expect the same transparency from Neal. When New England Public Radio tried to get his tax returns in 2017, he was similarly elusive. As the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Neal does have the power to demand the information, as per Section 6103 of the IRS tax code. However, the Trump administration has rebuffed previous attempts to turn over the president’s tax returns because they say he’s being audited. Of course, now that Russian collusion is off the table, the Democrats need to find something new to whine about and one gets the feeling Trump’s tax returns will do quite nicely. This is your Democrat House majority, America. Nice work.
