Rachel Maddow took to Twitter to share that she had a copy of Donald Trump’s tax returns, which he had previously refused to make public. This has everyone breaking their necks to see what exactly it was that she had.
She tweeted,
BREAKING: We’ve got Trump tax returns. Tonight, 9pm ET. MSNBC.
(Seriously).
Daily Beast columnist David Cay Johnston tweeted,
On @maddow I’ll break a big story about Trump and his taxes – 9PM eastern via @DCReportMedia Ill be on @lawrence, too.
Right before the segment aired, the White House sent out a statement in which they spoke on “dishonest media” that was “desperate for ratings.” Maddow stated she had the first two pages of Trump’s return. She says that Trump took a huge writedown and ended up with a negative income. As a result, Trump ended up paying very little in taxes. This means he was far below the amount paid by most people in the nine-figure income bracket.
Interesting.

I'm told that the tax documents @Maddow has (Trump's 2005 1040) shows that he paid an effective tax rate of about 25% in 2005.
