Former president Donald Trump inundated the Internal Revenue Service with a barrage of Freedom of Information Act requests meant to shed light on any internal deliberations agency officials were making as they considered turning his tax records over to the House Ways and Means Committee.
According to Bloomberg News, Mr Trump filed two requests with the tax collection agency in 2019, after then-House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal asked the Treasury Department to provide the panel with copies of several years of returns for Mr Trump and his companies.
