Looks like Donald Trump has skeletons in his closet. The US President refused to declare his tax returns even on Income Tax Day.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets across the United States and beyond on Saturday to press President Donald Trump to release histax returns and to dispute his claim that the public does not care about the issue.
The demonstrations, organized by a loose coalition of labor and left-leaning groups with various economic agendas, are intended to focus on Trump's refusal to disclose his tax-paying history, something his predecessors in the White House have done for more than 40 years.
Critics have raised questions about what Trump's tax returns say about his net worth and about his various business ties.
The White House is continuing with the excuse of the IRS audit that Trump had offered during his campaign days, although IRS Commissioner John Koskinen clearly said that an audit doesn't prevent anyone from releasing their tax documents to the public. Former US President Richard Nixon had filed his tax returns while being audited back in 1973.
