Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Wednesday that he has never had any conversations with President Donald Trump "or anyone in the White House" about providing Trump's tax returns to Congress. 

"I've had no conversations ever with the president or anyone in the White House about delivering the president's tax returns to Congress," Mnuchin said during a hearing before the House Financial Services Committee.

House Democrats have demanded access to six years of the president's tax documents under a 1924 law that dictates that the treasury secretary "shall furnish" them if requested by Congress.
