Mnuchin said the White House has been in touch with Treasury over the issue but did not disclose what the decision might be about releasing the president's long-sought filings.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin dueled with Democratic House members Tuesday attempting to get President Donald Trump to release his tax returns.Trump refused to release the returns during the 2016 presidential campaign and has retained that stance since winning. The president had said that he would release his returns after they were done being audited, although there is nothing legally in the way of him releasing them.
"I have not had any conversations with anybody in the White House about this issue personally," he later added."I want to be specific. That relates to me and not everybody at Treasury."
