Cohn says he’s confident House will pass tax bill this week

Gary Cohn, the director of the White House National Economic Council, said Tuesday he’s confident the House of Representatives will pass its tax-cut bill before members leave for a Thanksgiving break later this week. Speaking at a Wall Street Journal conference, Cohn also said he’s assuming the Senate Finance Committee will pass its version of a tax bill this week. Cohn stuck to a year-end target for passing a tax bill, saying “We have to get taxes done this year.” The administration’s next priority after tax reform is an infrastructure bill, Cohn said.
