He lost 916 million. The times suggested it could allow him to avoid paying any federal income tax for up to 18 years. He could have wiped out his Tax Obligations for his future earnings. Cnn has not independently confirmed the authenticity of the tax documents. Both campaigns are reacting. Cnns chris frates. Reporter good morning. John and christine, the Trump Campaign has not disputed the accuracy or the facts in the times story. They put out a statement calling the times and media in general an extension of the Clinton Campaign. They argued that trump had a fiduciary responsibility as a businessman to pay no more tax than legally required. The times fails to point out he has an obligation as a head of a business to take advantage of and use the lawful deductions and Tax Advantages that are available to you. So the reality is this is part of the tax code. He is a genius. It shows the mess the federal tax code is and thats why trump is the best person to fix it. There is no one who has shown more genius in the way to move around the tax code. Reporter the Clinton Campaign jumping on this. They have pressured for months to release tax returns. This they reacted swiftly. Robby mook says this reveals the colossal business failures. He stiffs Small Businesses and laid off workers and walked away from hard working communities. He avoided paying taxes for nearly two decades while tens of millions of working families paid theirs. That statement ended with mook calling on trump to release his returns. John and christine. No way. Chris, thanks. Time for an early start on your money. How can trump lose 916 million . The losses were a gift that kept on giving. The bigger the loss, the lower the tax. The way he structured his businesses, it could allow him to reduce his income Tax Liability to zero. We dont know which business drove this loss. Was it in 95 or before that. One thing is clear. If the goal was to pay little t tax, he sets up most of his businesses as llcs. That lets him apply any profits earned from my other businesses. He is a real estate developer. He could deduct interest on loans used to finance properties. Allowed to deduct operating and minu maintenance costs on properties. He is allowed to write off the value for wear and tear. The gop nominee paid other taxes. It says he has a fiduciary responsibility to his business and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required. This is his personal tax return. The fiduciary responsibility is only to himself. He doesnt have shareholders. There are legal analysis in the papers. You never bear fiduciary responsibility to your employees. This is the personal return. Not the trump corporation. This morning, Hillary Clinton goes to ohio, which you heard is an important state. She has been trailing. She hasnt been there in a week. In weeks. Some are wondering if she is writing off ohio. She has two events there today. She just picked up the endorsement of a key ohio resident. That man. Akrons own lebron james. Lebron james wrote an oped which posted overnight. He said policies and ideas that divide us more are not the solution. We must all stand together no matter where we are from or color of our skin. Hillary is running on the message of unity and hope we need. This endorsement came after Hillary Clinton struck a more personal note over the weekend. She went to charlotte, North Carolina to address the shootings. Cnns joe johns has the latest. Reporter john and christine, Hillary Clintons visit to charlotte after the demonstrations and unrest was scheduled a week ago, but it had to be canceled because the mayor questioned the timing. It was important for the campaign to get her into the city talking about the issues because this the largest city in the key Battle Ground state. They also had to strike a tone so as not to attract criticism. They did that by downplaying the trip into the city. Not even tipping off parishioners in the church where she was coming. She spoke from the pulpit and spoke in a personal vain. She not mention the name of donald trump. Im a grandmother and like every grandmother i worry about the safety and security of my grandchildren. But my worries are not the same as black grandmothers who have different and deeper fears about the world that their grandchildren face. Reporter after that speech here at little rock ame church in charlotte, North Carolina, Hillary Clinton met with a group of Community Leaders to talk about the related issues before flying back home. She travels to toledo and akron, ohio. Thank you. The trump tax revelations raising all kinds of questions. We will sort through that with eugene scott and brian stelter. The host of reliable sources. What a bombshell. Three pages of returns. Dropped in a slim envelope with a return address of trump tower to the reporter from the times. That was the headline of the weekend. Could they be in trouble for publishing that . The times believes it is on solid ground. The source potentially can be in trouble. It is a crime to share tax returns without authorization. Who within the trump world wanted this released . Only a few people involved in the preparation back in 1995. Presumably other people may have had more access. Does trump have a leak or mole . To show the year, 1995 with the huge loss, maybe someone wants to show trump doesnt have the midas touch in business. The times went back and talked to the tax preparer and confirmed the software did not have enough spaces for such a big loss. He had to type in the 91 there. You could not make up for that much loss. While this was going on, saturday night, the times posted this article at 6 00. I was on my couch when i read it. And donald trump had a rally which was out there. He said stuff he never said before and did stuff i never said before. Including questioning Hillary Clintons loyalty to her husband. Listen to this. I dont even think shes loyal to bill, you want to know the truth. And really, folks, really, why should she be, right . Let me be clear here. That is not normal. That is not something done. Questioning the marital fidelity of your opponent in a race. This is days after he made the argument during the debate he has the best temperament and he is not as unhinged or unhinged at all as opponent tries to paint him. How voters who respond to this, im interested how you defend this. This is a significant allegation. He tried to say that to jake tapper yesterday. Everything is fair game. He is an improviser. He plays improv really well. He always has something new to say. And surrogates are doing that as well. You dont get a free pass because it is improvised. You dont get a free pass because you are not a career politician. You dont get a free pass. When he is unpredictable and entertaining. This is the dark side of that. He is questioning the integrity of the debates or talking about election rigging or Hillary Clintons fidelity to her husband without a shred of evidence. Lets be honest. His audience eats it up. The rally goers eat it up. Love what he is saying. There is such a disconnect with that crowd that comes to the rallies and many viewers who are appalled about this. What surrogates have a tolerance for is different from what independents will do. What they will do in terms of voting for him remains to be seen. I cannot believe it will be favorable. So much happened. We will talk about saturday night live and the leaked tape and what Hillary Clinton supporters have to say. A real storm. Not political Storm Brewing in the caribbean.
