Posted on February 20, 2017

Andrew Puzder, Trump’s former nominee for Labor Secretary, did not pay payroll taxes for a household employee according to his spokesman, George Thompson, as told to The Wall Street Journal. According to Puzder, the back taxes eventually were fully paid to the IRS and the State of California.

Trump’s pick to head the Office of Management and Budget, Representative Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., failed to pay more than $15,000.00 in payroll taxes between 2000 and 2004 for a household employee according to a disclosure to the Senate Budget Committee.
