IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig confirmed at a House Appropriations Subcommittee on Tuesday that there is “no rule that would prohibit the release of a tax return because it’s under audit,” in reference to an ongoing effort by House Democrats to obtain President Trump’s tax returns.

Trump’s lawyers sent a letter to the Department of Treasury counsel last week dismissing the request for returns as politically-motivated.
