Re: Edward Kleinbard
Edward Kleinbard was quoted about the standoff between Congress and the White House regarding the release of President Donald Trump's tax returns. Typically, when an administration doesn’t want to provide information sought by Congress, there is usually an attempt at negotiation. But that hasn’t been the case with the tax-returns battle, Kleinbard said
