To The Point: Talking Taxes with Rep. Richard Neal

Published | Video Starts at 14:29

Where was Mnuchin, by the way? In our hearings in the Ways and Means, there was no representation. At a meeting at the White House in 2001, within a matter of days after George W. Bush became President, he invited me to the Oval Office to talk about taxes. And he told me what he was thinking of and he asked me what I thought. Cheney was there, as was Paul o', Neill, the Secretary of the Treasury. (14:29–14:40)
