Sky News host Paul Murray says the President’s tax returns were clearly leaked to the New York Times deliberately two days before the first presidential debate to “try and change the subject”. An investigation by the New York Times claimed the president paid just US$750 in federal income tax in 2016, and another $750 in 2017. Mr Trump, however, shut down the report as “totally fake news”.
“The outrage was there on the Biden Booster Network, and they knew what to do with this story”. “This report is a devastating picture of a president who is bleeding financially and depending on the presidency to prop him up financially,” one CNN analyst said. Mr Murray said what the report or CNN failed to take into account was the fact that the President donates his more than $400,000 salary back to government departments.
