TOPLINE The commissioner of the IRS—who is responsible for releasing President Trump’s tax returns to Congress—owns two rental properties at the Trump International Waikiki that he profits off of while in office, according to new documents obtained by a watchdog group in Washington, raising new questions about his withholding of Trump’s tax returns as the president goes to court to keep them hidden.


KEY FACTS
Commissioner Charles Rettig’s personal financial disclosures for the past two years, analyzed by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, show that the IRS commissioner earns $100,000-200,000 per year from his properties at the Trump-branded Hawaii resort, which he purchased in 2006 before the hotel officially opened.



The Trump Waikiki website notes that the hotel was not developed by the Trump Organization—the owner licenses the Trump brand name—but Hawaii News Now reported in 2016 that the now-president received 10% of all pre-sales of units at the property, and Trump has made a promotional visit to the hotel while in office.


Rettig, who failed to disclose his connection to the Trump property when first appointed, told House lawmakers in 2019 that it was ultimately his decision—under the supervision of Treasury Sec. Steven Mnuchin—whether or not to turn over Trump’s federal tax returns to Congress, as House Democrats have requested.

Rettig denied the request for Trump’s tax documents in May 2019, with Mnuchin telling lawmakers that their subpoena for the president’s tax returns “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose.”

Why is this guy still in charge of running the IRS?

1. So, can they easily replace him?

If so, what are we waiting for?

2. +1, we're waiting on the "process" which I'm getting sick of ... we can walk and chew gum at the sam

... same time.

All Trump political appointees should be considered on the chopping block

[orangecrush]

8. Because we have to "give him a chance"...

To undermine and embarrass the Biden administration.

3. Such glaring COI is appalling. He ought to resign or lose his pension if he has to be forced out.

4. All Trump appointees are corrupt greedy MAGA trash. Get rid of them.

5. Perjured himself in the confirmation hearing, and broke the law with the tax returns.

Prosecute the fucker and remove him ASAP.

6. Fucker Wouldn't Extend The April 15 Deadline

Congress and many organizations had to practically beg him to delay the filing deadline, so he begrudgingly extended it until May 17.

The IRS is such a complete and utter mess right now. Months and Months behind, they're still working on 2019 Tax Returns that were filed last year. I still have several clients waiting on refunds.

7. Rethugs intentionally underfunded IRS

Is my understanding.

9. I complained about Rettig weeks ago. Not many here seemed to care. 1 person

Said they had done their taxes and they could guarantee their taxes were more complicated than mine, so it was no need for an extension. One of the most snobbish things that I've ever heard. Rettig should have been fired day 1
