BREAKING: Mary Trump leaked Trump's tax data to the New York Times

Axios

"At 3:00, I drove to the loading dock beneath the building, and nineteen boxes were loaded into the back of the borrowed truck I was driving since I couldn't work the clutch in my own car."

"It was just beginning to get dark when I pulled into my driveway. The three reporters [from the New York Times] were waiting for me in David's white SUV, which sported a pair of reindeer antlers and a huge red nose wired to the grill."

"When I showed them the boxes, there were hugs all around. It was the happiest I'd felt in months."

The president's niece goes on to recount conversations with the president's sister, who suspected other members of the family were guilty of leaking to the Times.

Just curious.

Trump's going to try to get his niece arrested for having done this I bet.

I think the rich all of them are parasites sucking out public money. Look at what they took from the corona virus relief.

Nancy needs to starve the rich corporate tapeworms
Devouring other people's money with tax evasion and other shady immoral operations.

Never trust a republican they'll rob you blind..

“It’s practically Newtonian: for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.”



Or wasn’t that included in the Wharton curriculum, donnie two-scoops?

12. Right. Are you thinking that entering into a contract with the crook wouldn't expose his financials?

But she would have access to his father's/ her grandfather's estate & therefore his inheritance - which, of course, he probably lied about on his taxes.

He's one big FRAUD.
