Asked on 'Fox News Sunday' if congressional Democrats will succeed in obtaining Trump's tax returns, Mulvaney said: 'Never. Nor should they.'
President Donald Trump's tax returns will never be handed over to Democratic lawmakers, White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said on Sunday, defying an effort in Congress to learn more about the Republican leader's personal finances.
"Democrats are demanding that the IRS turn over the documents. That is not going to happen, and they know it. This is a political stunt," Mulvaney said. "It is not up to President Trump, it is not up to some lawyer that President Trump hires, to determine whether" his tax returns can be sought, Kildee said."This is not an autocracy. The president does not get to decide for himself and for Congress what a legitimate subject of inquiry might be."
