IRS Memo Defies Trump And Says His Tax Returns Must Be Turned Over

This could be huge.

A confidential IRS memo says that Trump’s tax returns must be turned over unless he claims executive privilege over them.

But, according to the IRS memo, which has not been previously reported, the disclosure of tax returns to the committee “is mandatory, requiring the Secretary to disclose returns, and return information, requested by the tax-writing Chairs.”

The 10-page document says the law “does not allow the Secretary to exercise discretion in disclosing the information provided the statutory conditions are met” and directly rejects the reason that Mnuchin has cited for withholding the information.
