During his Sunday press conference, Trump called the reporting "fake news" and said he still cannot release his tax returns because he is under audit. "It's totally fake news. Made up, fake," Trump said, reports The Guardian. "We went through the same stories, you could have asked me the same questions four years ago, I had to litigate this and had to talk about it. Totally fake news. Actually, I paid tax. And you'll see that as soon as my tax returns – it's under audit, they've been under audit for a long time, the IRS does not treat me well, they treat me like the Tea Party, like they treated the Tea Party, and they don't treat me well."

prevnextExcessive debt is viewed as a national security vulnerability and generally means no security clearance allowed. Why? Not only because a debt ridden person is desperate, but because the entity loaning has undue influence over the person. #TrumpTaxReturns

prevnextis it fair that I lose more than 25% of my measly paycheck for taxes that support the country, yet a billionaire pays a total of $750... The working class supporters of Trump should be embarrassed that they support a “billionaire” who pays less taxes a year than them #TrumpTaxes pic.twitter.com/LoEn6h9guy

prevnextNow we know what he hid from his own middle and low income supporters: While they struggled to pay bills, he paid less fed income taxes than nearly all of them. What a con.
He "paid $750 in federal income taxes" in 2016. He often paid nothing. #TrumpTaxes https://t.co/E6afY31yrj
