Al JazeeraUS president paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017, the New York Times reports, citing tax return data. The New York Times has reported that US President Donald Trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017, citing tax return data. “Actually, I paid tax, and you’ll see that as soon as my tax returns – It’s under audit, they’ve been under audit for a long time.” Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, said in a statement to the New York Times that “most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate”. In a statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of the opposition Democratic Party, said the latest revelations about Trump’s taxes showed his “disdain for America’s working families.” Richard Neal, a Democratic congressman and the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee who has tried unsuccessfully to obtain Trump’s tax records, said the Times report makes it even more essential for his committee to get the documents.
