Six years of the personal and business taxes of the Malignant Loser will be released to the public today by the House Ways and Means Committee, after the Malignant Loser fought desperately to hide them. From the Associated Press:
"Trump’s tax returns are likely to offer the clearest picture yet of his finances during his time in office.
Trump, known for building skyscrapers and hosting a reality TV show before winning the White House, broke political norms by refusing to make public his returns as he sought the presidency — though he did give some limited details about his holdings and income on mandatory disclosure forms.
Instead, Trump has touted his wealth in the annual financial statements he gives to banks to secure loans and to financial magazines to justify his place on rankings of the world’s billionaires."
From bits of information released so far, it's clear that the Malignant Loser conned the taxpayers by claiming highly inappropriate deductions, paying little or no taxes for years, and actually getting refunds based on his sketchy filings. There's also evidence of "charity" gifts that were never made or overstated. One fact that has been revealed already is that the IRS, under a Trump appointee, didn't do the legally required audits of his taxes while he was in office, something that each President before him did going back to Nixon. The Malignant Loser continuously lied about being audited which he claimed prevented him from having his taxes released. The breadth of taxes released should provide investigators with evidence of cheating year after year, and a potential roadmap to prosecution.
