(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – The New York State Tax Department has confirmed it is investigating claims by the New York Times that President Donald Trump helped his parents dodge millions of Dollars in taxes.
The paper has alleged that the President was involved in “Dubious tax schemes during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud.”
White House Spokeswoman Sarah Sanders called the story a “Misleading attack.”
She said the transactions were signed off by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) “Many decades ago.”
The President himself has not commented, but his lawyer Charles Harder said in a statement, “There was no fraud or tax evasion by anyone. The facts upon which The Times bases its false allegations are extremely inaccurate.”
