On February 3, 2025, Rep. Neal expressed his awareness of constituents' concerns about "an unelected billionaire having access to sensitive federal payment systems and confidential tax information."

The following day, on February 4, 2025, he highlighted the economic relationship between Massachusetts' First District and Canada. Neal noted that "Massachusetts' First District exports nearly $500 million in goods and services to Canada annually" and emphasized the employment impact of Canadian-owned businesses in the district. He suggested that "targeted and thoughtful tariffs have the potential to support American workers." His statement is available here.
Later on February 4, Rep. Neal referenced Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code while addressing concerns over an individual's access to sensitive information without an official role.
