[May offers 2nd Brexit referendum in bid to pass her plan]( U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May, whose plan for leaving the European Union has been rejected three times by Parliament, told British lawmakers on Tuesday that her "new Brexit deal" would give members of Parliament a chance to vote on holding a second referendum on whether to leave the EU at all. There's just one condition: MPs have to vote for May's EU-approved deal first. May will push for a vote on her fourth and likely final Brexit plan in June. As well as the offer of a second referendum, May added pledges on workers' rights, environmental provisions, and other elements to sweeten the package, which also contains the central provisions in the old Brexit deal she negotiated with the EU.

[Draft IRS memo says presidential tax returns must be given to Congress]( A confidential draft Internal Revenue Service legal memo says any administration must turn over tax returns to Congress unless the president invokes executive privilege, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing a copy of the memo it obtained. The memo contradicted Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's reason for refusing to hand over President Trump's returns, which House Ways and Means Chair Richard Neal (D-Mass.) has formally requested. Mnuchin declined to give Neal the returns because, he said, Congress had no "legitimate legislative purpose" for demanding the documents. The draft IRS memo, which wasn't signed, said that under a 1924 law, disclosing the returns was "mandatory" if requested by chairs of tax-writing committees. The IRS said the memo did not represent the agency's "official position."
