Trump Tax Exposure

Peach Fish Productions
About this episode

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston has analyzed Donald Trumps tax returns from 2015 to 2020 for his new book The Big Cheat: How Donald Trump Fleeced America and Enriched Himself and His Family. Johnston says Trump has broken easy-to-prosecute laws. Plus, the tanks are on the move! And a pollster-on-pollster spat that Nate Silver's model estimated has a 26% chance of cruelty.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
