Trump Evades Tax Return Question: 'I'll Make a Decision' After 'Routine Audit' Is Complete
by Justin Baragona | 12:12 pm, April 30th, 2017
Last week, while unveiling the outline of the White House’s tax reform plan, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin was pressed on President Donald Trump’s resistance to releasing his tax returns. In response, Mnuchin stated that Trump had no intention of releasing them as he’s given plenty of financial information already.
During an interview that was broadcast this morning on CBS’s Face the Nation, Trump said that Mnuchin never asked him personally about his taxes. At the same time, the president relied on his long-standing answer when pushed on if/when he’ll release his returns — he’s under audit.
“I’m under audit,” the president exclaimed. “Right now, I’m under audit.” He proceeded to explain that it appears to be a “routine audit” but that his returns are very large. POTUS added that he thinks it is unfair that he’s been under audit for at least 12 years in a row, claiming that he thinks it is happening because he’s very famous.
Host John Dickerson brought up that Trump has been relying on this claim for at least 14 months and wanted to know when he thinks the audit will be over.

You're a friggin liar. Even if your tax lawyer advises you not to show the return currently under audit you can release all of the other past years that I'm very sure are done being audited by now.
As for why... it's almost certainly not because you're famous you narcissistic jerk. It's because your returns raised red flags with the amount of deductions, changes between years, etc. I'm no fan of the IRS but they're not going to waste time and precious manpower auditing people 'just because' they're famous. 
See here's the thing, Trumpty Dumpty... you want a budget deal with cuts to crucial services for seniors, disabled, kids, single parents, working class poor, etc while giving more tax cuts to the richest who really don't 'need' the extra $$. We need to see YOUR returns to see exactly how and how much YOU and yours will benefit while screwing so many of the rest of us over.
