Related: About this forumWake Up Call: Trump Hires Kasowitz to Deal With Tax Report
As Donald Trump contends with a New York Times report about the implications of his 1995 tax returns, he has turned for help to a New York firm he has used frequently, Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman. (American Lawyer)
A site subscription is required to see anything more. He's probably launching an investigation into who may have released the damning pages of his 1995 tax returns.

He'd get ahead of this and just release his returns. This kind of bullshit is just gonna ensure this extends and extends.

(13,340 posts)4. even so, this has become a a really big story now.
His refusal to release more is just going to make it bigger.

This must have set him off in a rage. Hilarious.

(24 posts)6. Just damning to his election bid?
More like damning to his entire world. Almost like if it is released his "business" will collapse, or he's going straight to jail.
