Schiff said on Wednesday: I could just say that Mr. McCarthy’s rationalizations, justifications keep shifting. The cardinal sin appears to be that I led the imp...

The first bombshell is the Democratic-led House Ways and Means Committee said that the IRS didn't audit Trump’s personal tax returns during his first two years in office, despite an agency program that mandates scrutiny of every president's tax information.
