I Saw Trump's Tax Returns. You Should, Too.

There's a lot to be learned from the documents the presumptive GOP nominee won't disclose.

Funny money.

In January, Donald Trump had this to say when he was asked about whether he would release his tax returns: “I have very big returns, as you know, and I have everything all approved and very beautiful and we’ll be working that over in the next period of time.”

Yet he held off on releasing his returns. And on Tuesday night, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee seemed to close the door for good on the matter. He told the Associated Press that he wouldn’t release his returns prior to the November elections unless what he described as an Internal Revenue Service audit of his finances was complete.
