Top Republicans Mitt Romney, Mick Mulvaney and Jay Sekulow said Democrats will 'never' see President Donald Trump's tax returns.
Several Republicans and close aides to President Donald Trump spent Sunday morning ridiculing House Democrats' repeated requests to see the president's tax returns, with one senator dubbing the demand"moronic" and White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney saying lawmakers will"never" see these sought-after tax records.
"I'd like the president to follow through and show his tax returns, he said he would, I think it was on The Today Show where he said he would be happy to release his tax returns," Romney told Meet the Press host Chuck Todd Sunday morning. "But I also have to tell you, I think the Democrats are just playing along in his handbook, which is that going after his tax returns through a legislative action is moronic. That's not going to happen.
Mulvaney, who also serves as Director of the Office of Management and Budget, said Democrats are"always asking for something" on Fox News Sunday. The former congressman from South Carolina said because Democrats"did not get what they want" from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report they are now demanding Trump's tax returns.
"Oh no, never. Nor should they, keep in mind that's an issue that was already litigated during the [2016] election. Voters knew they couldn't have given his tax returns and they elected him anyway. Which, of course, is what drives the Democrats crazy. But they know they're not going to get this, they just want attention on this issue because they don't want to talk to us about policy.
