And all this time Trump refused to provide his tax records there was NO IRS audit going on to prohibit revealing his tax records. What a
LIAR!
For years, Trump falsely claimed that his tax records could not be released due to audits, said Democratic Representative Bill Pascrell, Jr.

Former President
Donald Trump is facing backlash over the revelation that his tax records show he was not being audited during years that he previously claimed audits prevented him from releasing the records.
The Democrat-controlled House Ways and Means Committee
voted to publicly release six years of the former president's long-sought tax returns on Tuesday. The long legal battle for the records ended last month, when a
Supreme Court decision finally authorized the release of the documents to
Congress. Trump bucked tradition by refusing to release his
tax records when he first ran for president in 2016, claiming that he couldn't, due to an ongoing IRS audit. He continued to claim that he was being audited
throughout his presidency, while thwarting congressional efforts to obtain the records.
Although IRS policy requires mandatory audits for presidents, a
report released by the committee on Tuesday shows that only one year of Trump's taxes were audited during his presidency, when his return for the 2016 tax year was designated for audit in 2019.
"Tonight we learned the IRS failed to follow the law and did not audit donald trump for years," tweeted Democratic Representative Bill Pascrell, Jr., who serves on the committee.
"Oh yeah and trump was lying when he said he was under audit."
On at least one occasion in 2018, when records show that his taxes were not being audited, Trump
said that he was under a
"continuous audit" and argued that his records should not be released because
"people wouldn't understand them."
"Wait...I was under the impression that Trump was under continuous audits???" Trump's former attorney
Michael Cohen tweeted.
"BULLS*** as usual!!! Only one Trump tax return as president got mandatory IRS audit, report says."
