President Trump on Monday tweeted that changes won’t be made to 401(k) plans after reports that congressional Republicans were considering a major alteration to the retirement accounts in forthcoming tax-reform legislation.
“There will be NO change to your 401(k),” Trump tweeted.
“This has always been a great and popular middle class tax break that works, and it stays!”
