Dem on tax returns request: Trump 'least transparent president in half a century'
Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) defended Ways & Means Committee Chair Richard Neals (D-Mass.) authority to request President Trumps tax returns Sunday, calling Trump the least transparent president in half a century.
Contrary to language used by Trumps attorneys in a letter to the Internal Revenue Service Friday, Neals request is not a Pandoras box and derives from legitimate authority, Kildee told ABCs George Stephanophoulos.
"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, and were considering legislative changes to that end, Kildee said on ABCs This Week.
