Democrats push for release of full Mueller report, Trump's tax returns: 'What is the president hiding?'
Two key Democrats, Rep. Pramila Jayapal of the House Judiciary Committee and Rep. Dan Kildee of the House Ways and Means Committee, spoke on “This Week” about their party’s pursuit of the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s full report and President Donald Trump’s tax returns.
"I think the main thing here is what is the president hiding?" she adds https://t.co/koQUGuN2wR pic.twitter.com/gjQbCqaB5M On March 24, Barr released a four-page letter laying out Mueller’s"principal conclusions," which indicated that no members of Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russian officials to influence the 2016 presidential election. On the issue of whether the president obstructed justice, Mueller made no conclusion. Barr, however, determined that Mueller’s report"identified no actions that, in our judgment, constitute obstructive behavior.
Also on Wednesday, the Democratic chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee sent a letter to the IRS requesting six years of Trump’s tax returns to be delivered to Capitol Hill within a week, setting off what’s likely to be a contentious legal battle over the president’s personal finances. Rep. Dan Kildee, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee:"We are looking very carefully right now as to whether or not the IRS is properly auditing and enforcing tax law on the President of the United States" https://t.co/koQUGuN2wR pic.twitter.com/RSmFFsNhhb
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, he reiterated that he"would not be inclined to" release his tax returns until he’s not under audit by the IRS.
