I think i have heard come out of the four years of the trump administration. its upsetting, as a taxpayer and citizen you would hope that they had done it. i dont know why they didnt. maybe they dont have enough staff who dedicated to. you think they have a team of people who could do it. maybe there is no order from on high not to do it. we dont now, but its, shocking but not talking, is what im saying on that. >> it is interesting that the other audit that we learned about in 2020 1:22 when yo...

Years. it wasnt even until april of 2019, when the chairman of our committee, richard neil, sent the letter to the irs, to the treasury department, asking for these returns under section 61 of the tax code. it wasnt all that very day that the first of these returns were flagged for audit. they had simply failed to do that at all. and they never completed any of the so-called mandatory audit of the president of the united states during president trumps term of office, during his tenure as preside...

The power doesnt mean he should do it. and ive heard nothing from anybody from various congressmen i was meeting and elsewhere that provides a -- that has a connective tissue and a legislative purpose which is the reason why he has every reason to look at them, but to release them publicly creates a moshl hazard and bad precedent and just feels punitive. and i dont think thats a good precedent for the country to release private tax returns because he has it coming. thats not a legislative purpos...

Time, including refusing to have his tax returns turned over to congress, as required by a law that says they shall be turned over on request. i would also point out that the irs commissioner donald appointed and who ive been very critical of is a beverly hills tax lawyer whose specialty is helping people accused of being tax cheats. so, the six years of returns the committee received, the ruling on the supreme court, only one was put under audit. and that audit is not done. but theres a lot of ...

The audit of presidents. the president kept talking about his returns being under audit. he failed to release his returns as every president since nixon has done. so a big question mark hung over this. what we needed to get the facts and so we asked for the facts to determine whether the irs was properly enforcing the law on the president of the united states. the reason it took so long is because of donald trump, because of those who support him. many of the same republicans now crying foul sup...
