‘Totally fake news’: Trump denies NYT report saying he paid almost no federal taxes, says returns to be released when audit ends

President Donald Trump denied a New York Times report suggesting he paid almost no federal income taxes over the past two decades, saying the truth will be revealed when an Internal Revenue Service audit of his returns is over. “It’s totally fake news – made-up, fake,” Trump told reporters Sunday in a White House briefing, noting that he had to deal with similar questions when the Times published a story on his taxes in 2016. He added that he will be “proud” to show his returns when an audit of his tax filings is finally finished, but “the IRS does not treat me well. They treat me like the Tea Party.”
