Wyden Statement on Nomination of Brent McIntosh to be Undersecretary for International Affairs

Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today released the following statement on the nomination of Treasury Department General Counsel Brent McIntosh to be Undersecretary for International Affairs:   

“As Treasury Department General Counsel, Brent McIntosh has been integral to Secretary Mnuchin’s decision to break the law and refuse to comply with Chairman Neal’s request for President Trump’s tax returns. Secretary Mnuchin noted he consulted with the department’s general counsel during recent congressional testimony. If Mr. McIntosh wants a promotion he needs to be prepared to thoroughly answer senators’ questions about his role. Ducking and dodging isn’t going to fly.”
