Amid Democratic attempts to obtain his tax returns, President Trump on Wednesday claimed people don’t care about them, despite multiple polls that show otherwise.
· A January ABC News/Washington Post Poll found 60 percent of Americans supporting the Democrats in obtaining and releasing the returns. · A 2018 Quinnipiac University poll found even higher support to have Trump voluntarily release his tax returns. Sixty-seven percent of voters wanted him to release the returns, with just 24 percent saying they didn’t want to see them. There’s no law stating Trump can’t release the returns while under audit.
A New York Times investigation published in October found that Trump had received at least $413 million from his father’s real estate company, largely through a series of tax-avoidance schemes. According to the Times report, Trump “participated in dubious tax schemes during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud, that greatly increased the fortune he received from his parents.” Trump called the report a “very old, boring and often told hit piece.
