did you hear the same thing, chairman neal? mr. neal: that was definitely tailored, yes. mr. schweikert: i just thought it's important for us to hear in the record, we're not opening up a new avenue of investigation. because i need to be brutally honest, that the language of the legislation, i don't think is crisp enough on that point. so let's just make sure it's cleanly in at least the record we've produced here today. mr. neal: i thank the gentleman for his friendly inquiry. mr. schweikert: with that, madam speaker, the gentleman from new york, i yield back. mr. reed: i yield back the balance of my time -- reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from california. ms. chu: i yield three minutes to the gentleman from michigan, mr. levin, who is the co-author of this bill and introduced this bill with me. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. levin: thank you, madam chairwoman. i thank my colleague, the gentlelady from california, for yielding. madam chairwoma

chairman neal is going to win this lawsuit.t every stage, including any possible appeal to the united states supreme court. it all turns on the meaning of the word "shall," and you don't have to go to law school or be a supreme court justice to understand that word. treasury shall furnish the committee with any requested tax return. it may take awhile, but there is absolutely nothing that can stop chairman richard neal from eventually getting the trump tax returns. joining us now is a senior member of the house ways and means committee, democratic congressman lloyd doggitt of texas. i can't pretend there is any suspense in this legislation, other than how long the law will take. it's just too long. it's just too simple. i will say i learned a few things about the history of the law in this masterful complaint today, including this very important fact that i wasn't aware of, that the audit of presidential tax returns is just a guideline of the irs. it's been going on for so long that i assumed it had slipped into law, but it is

we all remember the very first words uttered by neal armstrong after landing. he said, quote, houston, tranquility base here. the eagle has landed. of course, he was talking to the greatest minds of the generation who were working at johnson space center in houston, texas. the men and women at mission control center exercised full control over apollo 11 from the launch at canada space center to the landing on the moon to the splashdown in the pacific ocean. for more than 50 years now, the johnson space center has been at the heart of america's space program. the successful apollo mission marked a turning point in space exploration and folks across texas are eager to celebrate this momentous anniversary. you can do like i have and visit johnson space center yourself and see nasa's mission control from apollo. it's redesigned to look exactly the way it did in 1969, down to the retrocoffee cups and glass ashtrays. you can watch the houston astros you can find space-themed menus and ask an astronaut events to educate our next generation of space travelers. to comme

neal: i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: thank you, mr. speaker. proud to yield one minute to one of the leaders of our tax policy subcommittee efforts, the gentleman from nebraska, mr. smith. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. smith: thank you for the time, mr. speaker. i agree, we have a serious problem with multiemployer pensions, which needs to be addressed. however, this bill, i believe, will actually set us back. it does nothing to address the underlying structural issues of these plans. it actually does nothing to protect younger workers who will be asked to keep paying into a system which remains troubled. and it saddles taxpayers with liabilities which are unlikely to be paid back at a massive cost to taxpayers. let me provide just one alarming example of how flawed this proposal is, which i also highlighted in our committee markup. under this legislati

neal katyal at this table.today washington has been absolutely consumed by donald trump's attacks on women of color in congress. but behind the scenes there are other things happening, including many in congress furiously prepping for bob mueller's capitol hill testimony. that was originally planned for next week after flurry that happened late friday. democrats negotiating an extra hour for the judiciary committee, which means that every lawmaker on both judiciary and intelligence committees should be able to question mueller. this was announced basically after the closing business fry knight. lawmakers are pushing to talk to mueller's deputies, too. they are going to meet over structure and questions we have not confirmed that detail. back with me for opening argument series is former acting solicitor general neal katyal who argued dozens of cases before the supreme court and knows his way around these types of hearings. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> first of all, it is a little inside baseball,

chairman neal has put forward his lawsuit. how strong of a case do they have?, i'm not a lawyer but most of the lawyers that have looked at this have looked at the language of the law and it is pretty clear that the chairman of the committee or on the senate side may request anyone's tax returns. doesn't mean just to him or make it public but they don't really have to have a reason or anything. i do think in the complaint -- >> the law said if they request the tax returns, it shall be given to -- >> shall -- there is a negotiation. not up to the administration's decision. and, look, they are a little bit sensitive to the fact that -- of what the reasoning behind this is. the trump administration has said, no, we're not giving you that because you don't have a legitimate legislative purpose and the law doesn't suggest they need one but they do lay out one in the complaint and say, we're congress, legislative purpose here is to study whether presidents are abiding by the tax laws. >> this could be a long, drawn out process in the courts right now. >> well, donald

she was a fan of zora neal hurston, as i think many of us are today. the author of, "the eyes are watching god." she was professionally trained as a stenographer and this woman had it in mind that she would bring zora neal hurston back to florida and help her become the negro editor of the ex-slave florida project. florida was one of the earliest states to submit these interviews to federal directors in washington. and the federal directors saw this as a rich possibility for other states to undertake, as well, for a number of reasons. but this is where the complications come in. you look at the ex-slave project, all of these different groups and stakeholders involved within the project all saw the testimony as a way to articulate their own views about the legacy of slavery, whether or not it was a brutal or benevolent institution, and the legacy of african-americans coming out of emancipation. so to give you an example, at the federal level, you had directors like john lomax, known for being a folk song collector. he helped create one of the largest fo

now, neal had originally requested six years of trump's returns back in april.n may, treasury secretary steve mnuchin rejected a subpoena from democrats for trump's returns. today's lawsuit says the defendants have, quote, mounted an extraordinary attack on the authority of congress to obtain information needed to conduct oversight of treasury, the irs, and the tax laws on behalf of the american people who participate in the nation's voluntary tax system. and "the new york times" points out, quote, the case may ultimately go to the supreme court, and the outcome is likely to determine whether financial information that mr. trump has kept closely guarded in spite of longstanding presidential tradition will be viewed by congress and ultimately the public. president trump's attorney jay sekulow reacted to the lawsuit with a statement that reads, we will respond to this latest presidential harassment in court. david farenthold of "the washington post" and mimi rocah, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, now a distinguished fellow at

take a look at neal katyal who previewed how you would really do it.>> so donald trump tweeted right after the report came out, he said no collusion, no obstruction, totally exonerates the president. so question number one, mr. mueller, trump says that you found no obstruction. is that true. question two, trump says that you found no collusion, is that true. question number three, did your report totally exonerate the president? yes or no. simple. >> those are good questions. and you have you know, 24 or so democrats in the judiciary committee all get five minutes. they're going to have to make sure they coordinate and don't go in different directions. in between their questions, the republicans will ask mueller tell us ways you're part of the obama deep state conspiracy designed to get rid of trump ten years ago before we knew he was going to run. there were two hearings on wednesday. the first is the judiciary committee. then they take a break. they'll wipe the chairs down and they bring in the intelligence committee which will go after the issue of

>> it's interesting because as neal points out, and neal is always right. i feel obligated to say that sitting next to him. but the democrats really let the republicans get the jump on them on the political side of the equation when the attorney general came out and gave the public misleading information at best about what the report said. so the question for the democrats is can they now months down the road reengage the american public, get people to pay attention, and turn the tide about what they believe is contained in the report. this is the opportunity to let robert mueller read his conclusions in his own words. i think that that will be powerful. i don't think people will lose the point that this is someone who believes in the country, in the rule of law, and in public service. >> let me go through some of what they're going to focus on because it's been a little while since we -- and we've spent a lot of time on this. but let's go through some of what democrats plan to explore with robert mueller. first, just reminding people what the law is that h

neal armstrong, buzz aldrin flew that mission.ivotal step. nasa said there were just 30 minutes of fuel left in the tank when armstrong stepped down that ladder and said this -- >> it's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. >> rachel crane joins me from apollo mission control in houston. tell us about the significance of what it's like to be in that room. >> reporter: martin, this is about as cool of a location as it gets for a live shot. this is the iconic apollo mission control. this is the room where it happened, where 50 years ago the scientists and engineers were able to pull off the incredible feat of landing neal armstrong and buzz aldrin on the moon. it feels as if the scientists just stepped away from their desks after a six-year restoration project. it is all as authentic as it gets and we have the opportunity to speak with scott miliken, who was an astronaut trainer during the apoll -- apollo program. he spoke about the emotion of being back in the room 50 years later, sitting in his seat. tack take a list

by 2:00 today, we will. >> neal, i'm curious what you think about barr: it looks like to me what barrhat was he was betting that mueller wouldn't go there. he was so confident that mueller is by the book that he could almost taunt him like this, and say, well, sure you could reach a conclusion because that protects the president, and we all know barr is not about the law at this point, he's about protecting the president. what about this, will he go beyond the four corners of the report when it comes to defending the fbi? >> i think he might. so i mean, i feel like barr has treated mueller the same way as barr treats the united states supreme court which is like this almost pretend notion of they're going to do whatever we want them to do, and we can bully them, and control them into a certain set of behaviors. but mueller is, you know, his own man and when the attorney general opens the door, and i don't think barr has totally thought this through because barr's typical strategy is suppress, muzzle, muzzle, when he said that he was trying to take a pot shot at mueller by saying, oh,

back in april, chairman richard neal wrote six years pursuant to the internal revenue code which became law back in 1924. it says in part, quote, the secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request. now treasury secretary steve mnuchin balked at this request, and then rejected a subsequent congressional subpoena. and it's been a long standoff sense, with mounting questions from congress and other observers as to why the chairman of the ways and means wasn't pulling the trigger on a lawsuit. well, today he did. to talk what we can expect next, i'm joined by arthur delaney for "the huffington post" who published an article yesterday titled "democrats in no hurry to get trump's tax returns", and nick akerman. let me start with you who i credit with shaking this lose. you've been covering that. you had a bunch of quotes of people what's the holdup here. we're six months in. what's the wait? what is your understanding of why it did happen today? >> well that. >> didn't say. that's why we kept questioning it. other than that we're just wo

i'm not certain that i can see the possibility that you suggest. >> neal, what's the answer ? >> the interchange shows one of the main reasons trump wants a second term is to extend his get out of jail free card, that office of legal counsel opinion but the office of legal counsel opinion has in it that says the statute of limitations would be automatically told that is held in advance so you can still indict him afterwards if he were to win a second term. that's number one. number two, lawrence, this goes to the fund mental problem with this administration, which is they are totally lawless. this president is saying and thumbs his nose at the congress and courts and saying i don't need to show up to be interviewed by mueller. i don't need to give him answers even though there is damming evidence against him. i don't need mcgahn as you talked about the start of the show, his top lawyer doesn't need to show up even though there is a subpoena against him and things like that and, you know, this is the coull men nation of that line of thinking. i am effectively the king. you can'

back in april, the house ways and means committee chairman richard neal requested the president's tax returns. then he heard from the treasury department that they would not turn them over, so this is that filing in federal court asking for the president's tax returns. they are relying on a statute, 6103, an irs statute, little known from the 1920s-era law that essentially says that the house ways and means committee chairman and the senate finance chairman can request anyone' tax information and the treasury secretary shall furnish it. the fact that the treasury secretary, steve mnuchin, hasn't done so is the reason for this court filing. so a couple of interesting points. in the court filing, it says, quote, in refusing to comply with the statute, the defendants have mounted an extraordinary attack on the authority of congress to obtain information needed to conduct oversight of the treasury, the irs and tax laws on behalf of the american people. this court case makes is that, - you know, the president has been arguing long that he basically is constantly under irs audit. they are a
