Sparks fly at budget hearing as Mnuchin grilled about Trump tax returns

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday denied he was breaking the law by refusing to turn over President Donald Trump's tax returns and took aim at a Democratic lawmaker who has continued to press for the documents. "I find it offensive that you're telling me that I'm breaking the law and staggering lies," Mnuchin said during a hearing held by the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee on the Trump administration's fiscal 2021 budget request. The exchange came after over a year of legal battles between the panel and the Trump administration over the Republican president's tax returns.
