not to make his tax filings public the report came just days before trump's 1st presidential debate with democratic rival joe biden and weeks before the election in early november according to the new york times report trump was able to minimize his tax bill by reporting heavy losses across his business empire. of more of us bring indeed. dollars from our u.s. reporter team hey peter so walk us through this times article what does it tell us about donald trump's tax filings all right so the new york times said that they had obtained his tax data for extending more than 2 decades back not just for trump but also for the hundreds of companies affiliated with the trump organization it showed as he said there are $650.00 or $750.00 that is what he paid the year he became president the year after you know just

comparison most people in the u.s. the average income tax was $12200.00 so sure so more than $11000.00 more than what the president who claims to be a billionaire. he also. is looking at potentially $100000000.00 that he will have to pay back taxes there's an ongoing audit of his taxes for the internal revenue service so that could be another huge blow and within the next 4 years $300000000.00 worth of loans that are coming due that he personally guarantee so he's looking at hundreds of millions of dollars that he could be paying he could be you know the 1st president in history of the united states where business will have to make the decision whether to foreclose on a sitting president ok must be said to himself has dismissed these allegations as

they're made up fake news whatever but these tax filings that the new york times has revealed says it has access to we've been after the you know as journalists we've been wanting to get those for years is this a bombshell or not well it certainly i think it to a certain extent it cements a lot of the or confirms a lie. a lot of the rumors that were circulating i mean this is a man who has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy 6 times. there was a lot of debate about whether he really was the businessman that he claims to be but it is certainly it's the 1st time that we're seeing numbers put to a lot of the claims that he's made so this is coming the date for debate the 1st debate with president joe biden it's not a good look this is a person who has claimed to be you know not just wrong on the economy but the

brilliance and the reason that he would be a great president is because he's a great businessman and this directly contradicts actually i think will have an impact on the election and well we're certainly seeing the democrats trying to work on that favored the joe biden campaign put out stickers saying you know i paid more taxes than donald trump again. it may not have a direct impact on his more hardcore base but we are looking at a lot of people who are struggling financially right now maybe out of a job and who are wondering why is the president paying less taxes than i am so i think you know this it's not a good look and also because trump is someone who again you know when you ask trump supporters part of the reasons that they that they vote for him they say is that because he's a brilliant businessman because yes this is accurate so it really does go to the heart of the of his claim again and it's not definitely what i would think if i

were running the trump campaign the kind of news that i would be hoping for this close to election peter thanks so much for you know this is people love the dollar from our u.s. reporter to just let. look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world today u.s. democratic presidential candidate joe biden we were just talking about has condemned president donald trump's asian to nominate amy coney barrett to the supreme court biden said trump was using the court to overturn health care reform passed under a rock obama the urge the senate to delay voting to confirm the pick until after november election. a u.s. federal judge has temporarily blocked a trump administration order banning downloads of the chinese own video sharing to talk it was set to take effect in the u.s. by midnight on sunday trump said the ban was needed for national security reasons because of tick tocks links to the chinese government. high winds and low humidity
