Wowee! Ways & Means Comm rec'd an “unsolicited communication” on 7/29 from a Federal employee of potentially wrongful interference with the IRS’ presidential audit process! And they've asked the courts to hand over Trump's taxes... #WednesdayWisdom politico.com/story/2019/08/…
2-"A whistleblower recently made “credible allegations” to the Ways and Means Committee of potentially wrongful interference with the IRS’ presidential audit process, lawyers for the House told a federal court Tuesday.
3-"The disclosure was included in a motion by House Democrats asking Judge Trevor McFadden to summarily order the Treasury Department to turn over President Donald Trump’s tax returns to Ways and Means Chair Richard Neal (D-Mass.).
4-" **The motion included an Aug. 8 letter by Neal to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin saying that Ways and Means received an “unsolicited communication” on July 29 “from a Federal employee setting forth credible allegations of ‘evidence of possible misconduct’ —
5-"specifically, potential ‘inappropriate efforts to influence’ the mandatory audit program.” In Tuesday’s filing, House Counsel Doug Letter asked for summary judgment in favor of all claims in Democrats' complaint, saying “there are no genuine issues of material fact.”
6-"The filing included documents that again lay out the Democrats’ arguments for obtaining Trump’s returns, under a law that allows Neal to request them from Treasury."
