Neal Statement on Trump Using the Courts to Line His Pockets with Your Tax Dollars

"There's no length Trump and his family won't go to enrich themselves on the backs of American taxpayers. Trump has always used lawsuits to dodge accountability, and after years of shielding his own tax-dodging and fighting every transparency measure, he's doing it again, but this time he's dragging the IRS into court, using his own head of the DOJ as the arbiter, and stealing from taxpayers.

 

"Ways and Means Democrats conducted the oversight Republicans refused to do, exposing the extent of Trump’s tax evasion. Republicans will once again return to silence, enabling his corruption and letting him resort to his same corrupt abuse of the court to avoid accountability. This lawsuit isn’t about justice. It’s another scheme to rob America blind, and Democrats will do whatever is necessary to force Republicans on the record as protectors of Trump's corruption."
