White House says Democrats "will never see" Donald Trump's tax returns

White House acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, said Sunday that Democratic Party legislators "will never see" the tax returns of US President Donald Trump, and have claimed that they were not allowed to do so.

"Never And they should not do it eitherMulvaney said to the question asked during an interview with the program Fox News Sunday.

Trump rejected the presidential tradition of publishing his income statement every year and insisted that these documents "are subject to audit" and are so complex that "people would not understand them. ".

However, when they took control of the lower house last January, the Democrats promised that they would open an investigation by the intelligence committee demanding the delivery of the documents.

The opposition believes that the president's financial details could shed light on Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. The ruling party believes that the intention is d? publicly display the President's finances to gather information that could affect his image.

This Sunday, Mulvaney considered that it was a closed affair and that he did not have the support of Americans.Despite opinion polls on the subject, he invited the Democrats to turn the page.

"This is a problem that has been put forward during the elections. The voters knew that the president could have provided his tax returns (before the elections), they knew that he had not done it and they still elected him"said the chef de cabinet.

In reality, Trump is committed to making these documents public during the election campaign and only reversed when it was already installed in the Oval Office..

The fact that the President chooses to integrate the badets of The Trump Organization, which has about a hundred companies, into a trust controlled by two of his sons, Eric and Donald Jr., and the leader of Allen Weisselberg, Instead of doing so in "blind trust", he also raised suspicions early in his presidency.

According to a survey conducted by the chain ABC and the newspaper The Washington Post in his first year in power, 74% of Americans, more than half of Republicans, want to know the president's tax record.
