To publish it. It is not illegal for us to publish it. Watch this question of this revelation tonight brings forward. This 1040 report and getting into reporters hands, there is reasonable to expect that there is more out there and well see more of this come up. You know how much the president made and paid in that one year. We only have two pages. There is still a long list of questions that could be answered by the president if you want to release more or anybody else does of this source that gets it in our hands. Thanks for being with us tonight. Well see you again tomorrow. Now, it is time for last word of lawrence o donnel. Rachel, you know normally at 9 00 p. M. I have some stuff to do to prepare for a 10 00 p. M. Live tv show. All that stuff, i made sure it was done at 8 59 p. M. I got to watch every minute tonight. This has been an amazing
out on this program that there is absolutely no proof and never has been proof that any of Donald Trumps relevant tax returns are being audit. Audits begin with a letter from the irs. Donald trump has never produced that letter, i have requested that letter from the trump campaign. If hes audited, he would have that letter. It would tell us very much at all. Still, even that letter would not prove that donald trump was still being audit. It would only prove that an audit was commenced on a certain date and that audit might or might not still be going on. There is no reason to believe that donald trump is being audited if he will not even release the foreign letter that commences an irs audit. You just heard donald trump says
millions of dollars that he pays in taxes . We dont know what this indicates about other years. One of the things david has been able to document over the years is he found when he was looking over trumps businesses, casinos. Negative income. One year and next year, you know you have to watch things like big losses that he takes over a number of year. This year, we havejust been published tonight. You see him carrying over a hundred Million Dollars of a previous years loss, that explains a lot about how hes able to minimize tax burden rs over the years. This raises more questions. 1995. He does not have to pay jeff fields taxes. So, after he gets doing that about paying sales and excess taxes and Employment Taxes and this illegally public return proves just that. It is totally illegal to steal and publish tax returns. The Dishonest Media continues to make this their agenda as the president focuses on his which includes tax reforms thatll benefit all america. One of this things that he has been hiding. He knows it is illegal and it is a crime for the irs to review anything of his Tax Information, including a crime of them to review that hes being audited. Hes been able to say that i am being audited and i pays hundreds of millions of dollars. The people who handles those returns at the irs cannot say
anything publicly. The other people are cannot tacs who are worked for trump. David, you got this in your mailbox. I did not hear you stole it. Donald trump says you stole this. There is nothing illegal about this. I am disappointed of the statement of sean spicer was dishonested in the if i go to somebody and say hey, give me your tax returns from your Accountant Firm and i publish it, thats a different story. I got this over my home. And, suggestion that it is illegal for the public is nonsense. Remember to donald trump, he live in a wors in a world where judge screws with him, bad
judge. Donald sees himself and talks about the presidency as a dictator. Calling this a Dishonest Media in this statement, there is nothing dishonest about this. There is nothing dishonest about this publication or nor would they accuse us. We are all journalists and on the look out for somebody trying to sucker us into something. When we got there and david got this and puts this on television. You said to the white house and we sent it to the white house, verify it to us. They did not come back and saying it is not true. They verified the income and the terms of it and the tax paid. They essentially verified the documents and calling us dishonest at the same time. Had this been a fake document, nobody would publish it. They give it to us and they pub
iss li lished it and insulted us. Thats not at all in keeping of the facts that this is brought to the public. Sn one thing they did not say is this is dishonest, he pays hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes. They did not argue. They adopted it in the statement as much as you are asking for of this being the real thing. Can we go one other thing on this audit issue. Trump has said and i am being audited so i cannot point out on my taxes. David, one of the things you pointed out even if that were true, even if we decided that you could not release tax returns, is it basically impossible that Donald Trumps tax returns from the 1970s and 1980s and early 2000s, these are
all old and still unaudit . There is no statues of limitations. Trumps lawyers, of the most art full written legal letter that i have read in my life says that he was under audit. They never used the word audit. I think we can assume that 2008 and earlier there is no audit well, i would love to see that. Thats when he was giving that 95 million for that house. When you submit your tax return, you signed of an under personality of jury. I say everything of this return is true of the best of my ability. Releasing the audit does not have anything to do with it. You made your collect realization under oath that it is real. Either we have a president that violates itself and concerns of what we found out or sources of income or obligations to people that bring into questions of his integrity and
loyalty. I am frankly having been covered him are concerned on both of those. We have an absolute contempt for the democratic process in the white house. I dont see any other options here. The notion that if we got the rest of this, this return, by the way, could have hundreds of pages. 500 or 150 pages easy. To backup all the things that are in here. We still may not necessary necessary Ly Know Real Sources Of Income and if not all of it, passes through companies that he owns. That company can pass it to another company that he owns and what shows up in terms of the origin inside here some where, 200 pages down there. It maybe not be the actual. We have a much better road map, we may not have a full picture, absolutely one of the straightforward lines here thats interesting is
number 7 where he talks about he gets he has wages and Salary Income which is unusual for his case. It is about a Million Dollars. Could be hers. His wife is a model. Shes on here. She was never at that league of business. No. That could be his Television Income could have been paid that way. Even that, most of that is paid throughpersonal cooperatiorpora. Thats the one that you saw the documents for that. The executive producer, he may have gotten both the salary and a profit chair in the program. But, we dont know what that was for. Can you stay for a little here. Eventually, i want to go line by
line. Thats great. I cannot resist this.

will you release your tax returns and prove what you are saying . You know the only ones that cared about hi tax returns amy reporters. No, i won, i became president. We are back with Rachel Maddow and David Cay Johnston broke stories about the talks of two pages of Donald Trumps 2005, Personal Income Tax returns filed jointly with his wife melania. We heard him say no one cares about it except Rachel Maddowand David Cay Johnston. 74 says he should release his tax returns. 74 of americans. 18 say should not and 8 no opinion. 74 wants to see the information that you present tonight and as i said at the break there. He has tweeted saying, thank you, Rachel Maddow for providing to your trump hating hating followers, how successful that donald trump paid 40 millions in taxes. Donald jr. Forgets that his father says he paid hundreds of millions in taxes. There are very few people and even among trump haters in the world for who he hates about
them whether or not there ises hate involvs involved here. And honestly, there is a reason why more than 70 of the country wants to see these tax returns. It is not a belief that you catch donald trump. I think the reason people want to see this because they are worried that their president maybe acting without royalty. We never should have to worry about that, in the 1700s and the 1900s and this century. We never have materials caused to worry about that. This is the one that he wont let us see his finances. Thats the problem. If you want to make it about me and hatred and the petty concerns here, go for it. You are nmissing the point. You took us on a tour of the
possibilities of divided loyalties in this Administrat N administration. The entire story as to why these returns of, this president s returns are the most important in history because we need to know what his Financial Dependence maybe in russia and elsewhere. There are a number of financial ties that he has, Business Partnerships that raised concerns. I only did some of them, we did not talk about indonesia or south america. Even if you just just look at the focus of of a long new yorker piece recently, it is really easy to absorb. The trump family and the organization, how to partnership there of the family of a notoriously corrupt government official. It made no sense of financial
grounds. The people who they were partnered with have partnered with the Iranian Revolutionary guards and are profoundly flagrantly corrupted. There is a legal under the corrupt act to take income from corrupt sources, to take income to be involved in Business Partnerships or bribes and etc. There are something bigger of the americ we have a Problem Criminal Grounds and National Security grounds and in terms of leverage. If either of those things are true, his potential susceptible to blackmail on that subject is mind blowing in terms of what et mean is in our country, alone and in the world. Thats why you see this president s tax returns. It is not because of some vanity of how rich he is, it is because of our country and our security. And david, the other thing you can get out of this is there are some public information, rachel has talked a couple of times about this russian. We would love to see in tax files how that game was treated. We would love to be able to see, is it the amount that is publicly reported on it. Is it some smaller amount and why would it be smaller amount. All of that lives inside these documents. The deal and inspected by palm beach had been done by a city councilman. If i can you over paid the politicians for real estate. You are trying to hide money from your wife, you dont want
to over paid. Donald trump jr. s tweet. I dont hate donald trump. I find him end lessly fascinating thats why i paid attention to him over 30 years. Donald trump has chosen to run for office. If donald trump jr. Paid attention in 8th grade civic, he would know that it is our duty to tell the truth about our elected leaders. By his standard, the Homicide Detective hunts down the killer and hates the killer. I dont care who the killer is, all i care is the person that i catch is tthe killer. Thats the issue. Rachel, what are you hoping for in the next chapter of this coverage . Thats a good question. Um i think that we should focus in part on the fact that this document somehow made its
way to davids. We should know that if the Trump Administration and the credibility of these is predicated in parts on these documents being unvisiblinvisib anymore. If the president wants the American People to believe him in term of what s of his financ better hope that his tax do you means to back him up on that. This is not the last thats coming out. The more we learn about this, the closer well get to the truth about his foreign entanglement explains of what just happened in our election. This race is in the trump tax legislation thats coming up. How does he benefit . Oh, he makes it out like a bandit. Well pick this up after the break.

He had those documents delivered to him and he had no idea where it came from, they ended up in his mailbox. He was able to provided them tonight to rachel and us. The dnc issued a statement now in response to what has been revealed tonight on msnbc. The white houses willingness to release some Tax Information when it suits them proves Donald Trumps audit excuse is a sham. The only reason to not release his returns is to hide whats in them such as financial connection with the russians and
kremlin. To my surprise, the dnc has made an interesting point because i did not think they would. In the white houses statement tonight, they accepted all the numbers that are in the release return pages. That seems to indicate that they are in effect saying this israel. This is really it. Why would they would be willing to do that on the rest of these returns or any returns . I guess there is nothing to lose at this point. But, david, the dncs point they said there are audits. There is
