House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal is set to meet with House counsel to decide how to respond to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin's decision to deny Neal's request for President Trump's tax returns
The Massachusetts Democrat said in an interview that they have"exhausted" the letter writing process and he'll make his next steps likely by the end of the week. The chairman did not say if he'd issue a subpoena, but that he'd rely on guidance of counsel. "The actual letter was not unanticipated so as you might expect, we have already prepared a strategy for how we intend to proceed," Neal said.
Behind the scenes, members paint a picture of a Ways and Means chairman who has deliberated the tax issue, but hardly let it consume the committee.
