What we know about Donald Trump’s tax returns
Donald Trump’s tax returns have been released to the public, drawing attention to the former president’s financial and business practices as he faces calls for criminal charges in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
The partially redacted returns for 2015 to 2020 comprise nearly 6,000 pages.
A report by the committee pointed to a pattern of dubious claims about the use of professional expenses, trust deductions, “gifts in disguise” to his adult children and real estate rebates in New York.
Mr Trump was also revealed to have offshore bank accounts in China, the UK, Ireland and St Maarten and paid more tax abroad than in the US in his first year in office.
The former president has reacted angrily to the release of a statement warning that such a precedent could lead to “terrible things for many people” and make divisions in America “worse.”
