Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and founding chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) delivered that message Thursday to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn, the top officials leading the tax effort for the White House. Mnuchin and Cohn, along with White House legislative liaison Marc Short, who was also at the meeting, do not want the group to release any text, fearful it will prevent Republicans from uniting behind one plan.

Meadows, in a brief interview Friday afternoon, downplayed the possibility that the group would release its own legislation, adding that the White House has assured him action is imminent. But conservatives are eager to deliver on a major campaign promise after the Obamacare repeal bill died in the Senate. And if that means forging ahead on their own, they’re not ruling it out.
