President Trump lambasted a New York Times report that said he paid no federal income taxes for 10 of the past 15 years, calling the story “fake news” and arguing that he paid large federal and state taxes. “Its fake news, it’s totally made up,” Trump said Sunday during a press briefing less than an hour after the story broke in the newspaper. Trump, whose net worth is claimed to be in the billions, denied that he paid such a small amount in taxes. Even before being elected to the White House in 2016, Trump was heavily criticized for not releasing his tax filing. Over the past decade the President has paid tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes to the federal government," Garten said.
