Neal Won’t Ask for Trump’s State Tax Returns

House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal (D-MA) is the only Democrat allowed by a pending New York state law to ask for President Trump’s state tax returns, but so far he has said he won’t do it, Accounting Today reports.

“Neal has said he fears that getting the state returns would bolster Trump administration arguments that Congress is on a political fishing expedition — and not, as Neal has claimed, overseeing the Internal Revenue Service’s annual audits of the president.”

“Yet some of Neal’s colleagues have little interest in legal nuance and say the state tax returns are better than none at all.”
