Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) used their time questioning the president's former personal lawyer to uncover more details about Trump's unusual finances and tax-related claims, which some experts believe to be evidence of bank and tax fraud.  Gomez homed in on Trump's claim that his tax returns are under audit by the IRS and that is why he never released them to the public during the 2016 campaign (or since). “I asked for a copy of the audit so that I could use it in terms of my statements to the press, and I was never able to obtain one,” Cohen told Gomez of Trump's refusal to release his tax returns. “I presume that [Trump] is not under audit,” Cohen concluded. “He has said to me … that what he didn’t want was to have an entire group of think tanks that are tax experts run through his tax return and start ripping it to pieces and then he’ll end up in an audit and he’ll ultimately have taxable consequences, penalties and so on,” Cohen replied in response to Gomez's question about “the real reason the president has refused to release his tax returns.”
