It was easy to believe this while Trump was still running for president, but he’s been president for 3 months now and his taxes are still under audit?
POLITICO – President Donald Trump’s tax returns are still under audit, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday.
Protesters across the country marched over the weekend to push Trump to release his taxes as Tax Day approaches. Trump acknowledged the protests with a tweet Sunday, hinting that what he dismissed as “small organized rallies” were paid to occur.
Spicer told reporters Monday that Trump would not be releasing his 2016 returns because he is still under audit.
“I think it’s been covered before. It’s the same thing that was discussed during the campaign trail,” Spicer said. “The president is under audit. It’s a routine one. It continues. And I think that the American public know clearly where he stands. This was something that he made very clear during the election cycle.”
Here’s my problem with his taxes still being under audit. What will they do if the IRS finds out that the POTUS cheated on his taxes? I mean talk about scandals.
While it’s possible they are officially still under audit, I wonder if they’ve been pushed to the side and agents told not to touch them. This way they could still tell his critics they are under audit without worry about consequences.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but it just doesn’t make any sense to me that they’d still be under audit.
I think Trump should just man up and tell people he’s not going to release them…because…FAKE NEWS!
