The Biden administration won’t be turning over former President Donald Trump’s tax returns to the House until at least November, despite the recent dramatic Justice Department opinion that the IRS ‘must’ hand them over, Report informs referring to CNN.
A federal judge will hear arguments then on whether Trump can block the tax returns’ release. The scheduling development puts on ice for the foreseeable future one of two major ongoing court cases over access to Trump’s tax returns.
According to a brief court hearing, the Biden administration and the House committee will have a month to respond to Trump’s arguments - a typical amount of time in cases like these.
The arguments will take place on November 8, meaning McFadden won’t make any significant decisions in the case before then.
The administration handing over the tax returns would be in line with the latest Justice Department policy.
Trump, under various pretexts, refused to reveal his tax returns, although his political opponents demanded that he do so since the 2016 presidential race. Regulatory authorities conduct audits of the activities of the companies owned by him.
