[quote]A White House official said that President Trump would not comply with a Tuesday deadline set by House Democrats to release his tax returns to Congress, setting up what was expected to be an extended legal clash between two branches of government.

Asked about the April 23 deadline in an interview on Fox News, Hogan Gidley, a White House spokesman, signaled that Mr. Trump was girding for a protracted fight over his returns. Earlier this month, Richard E. Neal, the Democratic chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, formally requested from the Internal Revenue Service six years’ worth of the president’s personal and business tax returns, but so far the Treasury Department has said it needs more time to respond.

“As I understand it, the president is pretty clear, once he’s out of audit, he’ll think about doing it, but he is not inclined to do so at this time,” Mr. Gidley said.

But releasing the tax returns is not exactly Mr. Trump’s choice. Mr. Neal is employing a provision of the tax code to request the returns, which he said his committee needs in order to evaluate the policy of automatic audits of presidential tax returns.[/quote]

Contempt of Congress? I am sure Trump and others in his administration are terrified ............. just like Eric Holder was when he was found to be in contempt of Congress.[/quote]

[b]Failure to comply with a subpoena could lead to contempt of Congress, daily fines or even jail for Steven Mnuchin [/quote][/b]

Like it did for Eric Holder?[/quote]
