"Today, the Committee released the final piece of supporting evidence in our investigation into the IRS's mandatory audit program under the prior administration," the committee said in a statement.

The release of his returns would "lead to horrible things for so many people," and the divide in the country would grow deeper, he said.Trump also reacted to a December 22 article, which said that he has been paying little or zero income tax while managing to remain a multi-billionaire."Wrong, just sold the Hotel for almost $400 million. Many of their other numbers are wrong too, but by even bigger proportions. But that’s OK, being wrong doesn’t matter to the Fake News!" Trump said.
