WASHINGTON - 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 real estate mogul's personal finances.

Democratic Representative Ben Ray Lujan noted that presidents for decades have voluntarily released their income tax returns."This is not political, as our Republican colleagues are making it out to be," he told"Fox News Sunday."
Republican Senator Mitt Romney urged Trump to release his tax returns as promised but criticized Democratic efforts to force the issue through legislative action as"moronic."
