7:04 am
china, the better prepared the rest of the world can be there so much at home testing. and so many people, not even others, to get tests that we have a we don't have as good a sense of where this virus is spreading in the united states. so testing wastewater actually is giving us an additional helpful information so that we can track the spread of this virus in this country. and now using it in this circumstance. airplanes coming in from china. that's a very clever idea. the tax information donald trump, for to keep private, has been exposed us. house democrats have really 6 years of his returns, and they showed that he paid no income tax in 2020, which was his last year as president. despite promising several times to release
7:05 am
the tax information himself, trump said the house of representatives, ways, and means committee to keep the records private. but in november, the supreme court ruled that the documents could be made public, and on friday they were angry. the former president, although these tax returns contain relatively little information and not information that almost anybody would understand their extremely complex. the radical democratic behavior is a shame upon the u. s. congress. i white house correspondent kennedy hunk. it has the latest from washington dc. right now we do know that the president avoided paying tax for the most part, but he didn't for the most part legally because the tax code has been designed for not just the wealthy in the united states, but anyone who can afford to pay an accountant in the u. s. so this could be in the middle class as well, is able to take advantage of sort of loopholes if you will,
7:06 am
to essentially take losses on income in order to reduce their tax burden or tax bill. and so that's what this president has done, and that's what he's done is taken business losses by the 10s of millions in order to avoid paying tax with regard to whether or not the president has done anything wrong. and there certainly are some curious things about these tax returns as people are poring over them. for example, the fact that the president had foreign bank accounts has certainly been alarming given the fact that as president of the united states, this opens him up to suggestions that he could be under foreign influence. another concern is the fact that the president did sign into law, although it's the congress that makes law and he didn't change law that benefited him personally, as well as a millions of others, americans. and as well,
7:07 am
the president did also claim some income in terms of interest that some people suggest could be disguised as gifts. we don't know where those gifts came from. so certainly this could mean that the president could now be audited further by the internal revenue service or iris, or this could become weaponized by his political opponents. samuel de bronson is a professor of law at loyola university chicago. he says there is no law that launches presidents to disclose their tax returns. they are good questions about how the tax system treats the what the, how the wealthier able to offset income with losses that aren't available to most people. and from what i've looked at, i don't see any red flags that you just did. he cheated in using these offsets, rather he had the ability to use a lot of deductions because he has a lot of business heels and he has a lot of money back in office. i think that reflects a broader trend of donald trump breaking with tradition in breaking with norms.
7:08 am
unfortunately, or fortunately, i guess in his case, there is no law that requires presidents to disclose their tax returns. and possibly, congress never thought there needed to be a law because between president nixon. impressive obama, every president in the vast majority of presidential candidates, did voluntarily disclose their returns to the public. but when donald trump declined to do that, it turned out that norms only had teeth to the extent that people believe in those norms. so there are a whole lot of pages. there are thousands of pages of tax returns and i haven't had time to look through all of them yet. i suspect though, that there won't be any clear indication of transactions with one government. as you suggest, who does have an account in income from foreign countries. in those things may
7:09 am
