(CBS News) A defiant Donald Trump lashed out at a report that he may not have paid federal income taxes for as many as 18 years — and his allies went further, saying the GOP nominee is a “genius” if he didn’t pay his taxes.
In a Sunday morning tweet, Trump did not deny the claims, only said he “know[s] our complex tax laws better than anyone who has ever run for president”:
I know our complex tax laws better than anyone who has ever run for president and am the only one who can fix them. #failing@nytimes
The New York Times reported Saturday that the GOP nominee declared a $916 million loss on his income tax returns in 1995. This move would have corresponded to a tax deduction so large that he could avoid paying federal income taxes for “up to 18 years.”
