Voters knew the president could have given his tax returns. Mulvaney added that Democrats "know" they won't get the returns, and "just want attention on the issue because they don’t want to talk to us about policy." A "fundamental" purpose of tax law, Mulvaney continued, is to protect the privacy of tax filers. Told by a reporter on Wednesday at the White House that Democrats wanted six years of his tax returns, Trump didn't rule out the possibility permanently. And speaking later to Hemmer, Rep. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., said that Trump had promised to release his tax returns during the 2016 presidential campaign.
