Bantug tells prosec, defense moves on BIR box during impeachment pretrial

During the impeachment pretrial, Senate Secretary Renato Bantug revealed details about the contentious Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) green box, which allegedly holds the tax records of Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband. The defense is now pushing to access this box, claiming it could exonerate Duterte from impeachment allegations. This move is significant as it highlights the ongoing scrutiny over Duterte’s financial dealings amidst the impeachment proceedings. The box's contents could potentially impact the broader political landscape and the outcome of the impeachment trial.
