Mika Brzezinski : ‘Hillary Clinton Was Right All Along’ on Trump’s Tax Returns

Mika Brzezinski went after Donald Trump in light of the House Ways and Means Committee’s vote to release the former president’s long-sought tax returns.

Trump’s critics have pursued his tax returns for years, ever since he broke precedent among presidential candidates by refusing in 2016 to release his financial information. The ex-president constantly justified the nondisclosure by claiming he was under audit, and critics kept pushing for his returns in the hopes of examining his records for financial fraud and/or conflicts of interest.

Brzezinski took on the subject now that the Ways and Means Committee has voted to release Trump’s returns to the public. The New York Times’ initial reporting on them says that he “racked up chronic losses that he aggressively employed to avoid paying taxes.” Brzezinski not only dinged Trump on this account, but she also noted that the former president’s claims are contradicted by the findings that the IRS did not conduct routine audits on him despite a “mandatory” policy for sitting presidents.
