Tax Returns Show Trump Claimed Huge Losses While Paying Little or No Income Tax
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee released six years'
worth of Trump's tax returns on Friday. The release contains thousands
of pages of tax documents for Trump and his wife Melania, along with
business returns for several of Trump's hundreds of companies for the
years he ran for president and was in office. The records reveal Trump
paid just $750 in federal income tax during his first year in office in
2017. He paid no tax in 2020. Later in the broadcast, we'll speak with
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston, who says the
returns show Trump knowingly committed brazen tax fraud.
