'Wouldn't you think someone who personally lost over a BILLION dollars [might] be vulnerable to shady activity to get out of that hole?' New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said.
After The New York Times obtained a decade's worth of President Donald Trump's tax information showing more than $1 billion in business losses over that time, New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested that the leader might have some explaining to do.
Wouldn’t you think someone who personally lost over a BILLION dollars be vulnerable to shady activity to get out of that hole? "Congress has the authority to obtain them," Mariotti said, before suggesting that Ocasio-Cortez convince her colleagues to"use potential conflicts of interest as a rationale" for seeking out Trump's tax returns"instead of the need to oversee presidential audits. It's stronger."
The printouts from Trump's official Internal Revenue Service tax transcripts obtained by the Times suggest that in 1985, Trump had reported losses of $46.1 million from his core businesses, including casinos, hotels and retail space in apartment buildings. “The president got massive depreciation and tax shelter because of large-scale construction and subsidized developments,” a senior White House official said in a statement earlier this year, according to the Times. “That is why the president has always scoffed at the tax system and said you need to change the tax laws. You can make a large income and not have to pay large amount of taxes," they said.
