I pre-paid milion of dollars in taxes: Trump

October 23, 2020 07:15

Biden returns to one of Trump's Achilles' heels -- the US president's taxes.

Reporting from the New York Times found that Trump paid nearly no US taxes at all for two years, due to enormous losses in the preceding years, and the president has been repeatedly criticised for lack of transparency on his finances.

"I have pre-paid by taxes, tens of millions of dollars," Trump insists, despite refusing for years to release his tax returns.

"The IRS treats me horribly. I get treated very badly by the IRS very unfairly," Trump says, referring to the agency that collects taxes.

Democrats charge that Trump's finances would prove that he owes millions to foreign interests.
