Returns show Trump paid no taxes in 2020

Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service

A US Congressional committee has released six years of tax returns belonging to Donald Trump. The former president battled for years to keep the documents secret. They show that in one year, Mr Trump paid just 750 dollars in federal income taxes, in another he paid nothing. The documents also contradict his claim that he was prohibited from releasing the returns because he was under audit by the government revenue service.
