White House releases 2005 Trump tax figures before Maddow scoop
The White House is releasing some of President Trump's 2005 tax information in advance of MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show tonight, which is teasing a scoop on the documents.
WH numbers claim Trump made more than $150 million in income in 2005 and paid $38 million in income taxes that year, according to the AP.
It also claimed that it is "totally illegal to steal and publish tax returns," saying:
"You know you are desperate for ratings when you are willing to violate the law to push a story about two pages of tax returns from over a decade ago."
