Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin suggested today that he will reject House Democrats’ subpoena for President Trump’s tax returns, and that the issue is headed for the courts, Politico reports.
Said Mnuchin: “There is a difference in interpretation between Congress and us and the Department of Justice around this law. This is why there are three branches of government so if there is a difference of opinion this will go to the third branch of government to be resolved.”
