COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, Utah (AP) — U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz told a packed auditorium that he wishes Donald Trump had released his tax returns, but it is not required under the law.
The statement came Thursday evening after a woman attending a town hall asked the Republican congressman why he hasn’t opened up an investigation into the president’s taxes.
The chairman of the House Oversight Committee’s statement was met by boos and people holding up red signs that said, “DISAGREE” in a high school in a Salt Lake City suburb.
Chaffetz faced a litany of sharp questions and screams from a crowd of people who grilled him on everything from President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act to the Bears Ears National Monument in southern Utah.
