CNN: The 29 most consequential lines from Michael Cohen's congressional testimony
Washington,
February 27, 2019
Asked by California Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D) what Trump had told Cohen about why he didn't want to release his tax returns, Cohen offered up this answer -- which is FAR different from the White House's official line that he cannot release the returns because he is under audit. According to Cohen, Trump was worried about being under audit if his returns were released and picked through. Which would suggest that he is not currently under audit, and that the real reason Trump is afraid of releasing his taxes is because he doesn't want to pay tax fines. |
