Former President Donald Trump faces a potential tax bill of more than $100 million from a longstanding IRS audit of financial maneuvers connected to his Chicago tower, a joint investigation by The New York Times and ProPublica has found.

ProPublica’s Jose Sepulveda talks to reporter Paul Kiel about the details they uncovered and what implications this has for Trump going forward.

if it was such an important case, why did they wait 12 years to bring it up?

[Sporxz]

So in other words, every case has fallen apart and they need new ways to attack him.

When will the big guys 10% be audited?

[staypuft]

Well, you know, they say. When you can't put Trump in jail, the first 100 tries, just keep trying forever. You're helping him. Thank you.

[claireingles-sjxz]

So THAT's why they want to essentially defund the IRS...

He tore the tag off his mattress back in 1989 I heard! He needs the chair for that!!! Where is the justice in this country??

Do you realize how big of a stack of tax forms just this 1 building could generate? Every penny spent maintaining this building is written down.

Pro Publica is an excellent research source not “ some dude talking on you tube!!

[Randy-mdxl]

You mean he used tax laws that our government made.

[mikephillips]

Do you really think a major accounting firm that Trump uses would do this! You’re on crack!

[allendurant]

Giving up on the corn star already? I thought his haters were still riding the Fani and Letitia train? What happened to those so quick?

[kevinhoffman]

didn't they just say his buildings are worth nothing ?? that he is broke

[coolchange]

So, in other words, THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN (again) 🤣

[mikecavallaro]

They're hot on his trail and almost, nearly, practically, theoretically, sort of got him this time. Begs the question: How stupid is the average Democrat these days?

[ayabokti]

This is political persecution.
Seems an odd thing for the USA 🤔

[wiclifmogambi]

Give us direct facts, like he did this and that. All this word salad🤦🏿🤦🏿

[mjberndt]

Just the fact you said New York Times and AP just got you blocked 💯

[CavemanVanDweller]

A hundred million dollars in taxes? What were they taxing hunters crack and sticking trump with the bill??? 🤨

[fandyllic]

IRS gives a lot of chances to wealthy taxpayers… regular folks are usually unaware or these chances or they are unavailable.

[Barbaradimmick]
