    • Newly uncovered tax documents from President Donald Trump that were obtained by ProPublica contain several inconsistencies that could point to financial fraud.
    • The discrepancies in the numbers made some Trump properties look more valuable to lenders and less valuable to tax authorities, ProPublica said.
    • At least one of the filings was made after Trump took office in 2017.
    • The public may soon get a window into the president's closely held financial records after two separate court rulings ordered Trump to turn over years of tax returns to Congress and to New York prosecutors.
    • An employee at the IRS also recently blew the whistle on "inappropriate efforts to influence" the agency's audit of Trump's taxes.

    Wait you're telling me a guy that desperate to keep his taxes and finances a secret, all while touting how much money he has and how good at business he is, might be doing something illegal with his money... no way.

    I would have been surprised if he wasn't up to something nefarious about his tax returns. In fact, I would have been surprised if he weren't up to something nefarious about everything that he's up to everywhere.
