Mulvaney's tax return stonewall is either misinformed -- or sinister
Congress will never see President Trumps tax returns. Thats what acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney declared on Sunday.
How does he know?
Would the White House stop the Internal Revenue Service from turning over the files? Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin revealed Tuesday that Treasury Department attorneys discussed the issue with White House lawyers, despite laws meant to minimize White House interference in the IRS.
Or was Mr. Mulvaney saying that the executive branch would ignore a judicial ruling ordering disclosure? Mr. Trump last week reportedly told immigration authorities to ignore judicial orders.
