Cohen casts doubt on Trump's tax audit

President Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen casted doubt on whether Trump's tax returns were actually under audit by the IRS during the presidential election.

The president has cited an audit as the reason he hasn't made his tax documents public.

When Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) asked Cohen if he knew whether Trump's tax returns were actually under audit in 2016, Cohen replied, "I don't know the answer."

"I asked for a copy of the audit so that I could use it in terms of my statements to the press, and I was never able to obtain one," Cohen said during his testimony Wednesday at the House Committee of Oversight and Reform.

Cohen said that Trump told him that Trump didn't want think tanks examining his tax returns, leading to an audit that could result in penalties.

"I presume that he's not under audit," Cohen said.
