President Donald Trump has not given his tax returns.

The United States President Donald Trump has given his tax returns, but the Treasury Department has not made them public.

The United States President Donald Trump has given his tax returns, but the Treasury Department has not made them public.In a letter dated 23 April 2019, written by the Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in response to a request made by Richard Neal via a letter to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue seeking details of President Trump's tax returns, the former claims that it would be a misinterpretation to assume that the request has been denied. He also wrote that the request has neither been declined nor approved, but that the Treasury Department is waiting for a legal conclusion to be derived from the Department of Justice.

The Justice Department, in a document dated 13 June 2019, stated that the denial by the treasury to reveal the President's tax returns did not violate the law. This confirms that President Trump has indeed filed his tax returns but has chosen not to make its contents public.

According to the CRS report on the US congress website, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has informed the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee that according to the advice of the Justice Department, he would not release the President's tax returns as the request lacked a legitimate legislative purpose.
