'My guess is that most of them don't do their own taxes,' said the White House press secretary.
House Democrats have set an April 23 deadline for the Internal Revenue Service to turn over several years of President Donald Trump's personal and business tax documents, but White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Sunday that she doesn't believe these lawmakers are intelligent enough to understand the president's finances.
Wallace did not correct Sanders on the specific committee requesting the Trump tax documents. It is not the House Oversight Committee, but rather Ways and Means. Federal law explicitly grants authority to a handful of committees — including Ways and Means, but not Oversight — to request any tax returns or information.
Neal had originally given the IRS until April 10 to comply with its request, but instead of responding, the agency left it to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to explain why the committee's request could not be processed in time.
