was the 1st president in decades who refused to release his tax records. more boxes of trouble for donald trump. these contains thousands of pages of tax returns from the start of his run for you as president in 2015 to the end of his term in 2020. the document release follows a year long legal battle with congress ending in the u. s. supreme court. the filing show that in 2 out of those 6 years, trump paid only $750.00 in federal income taxes and no taxes at all in 2020. despite claims to the contrary, i've paid millions of dollars in taxes, millions of dollars of income tax. for many, the question is now. did donald trump cheat on his taxes? lawmakers of already found that the u. s. taxes 40 the i r s. did not carry out a mandatory audit of the former president, so he's got a lot of losses and as are largely generated through entities that he owns. sure to

really understand what's going on. we have to dig not just through his tax returns that through the tax returns of the entities that he owns earlier this month, one of those entities, a real estate company, was found guilty of 17 counts of criminal tax fraud. but trump remains defiant. in a statement he said the radical left democrats of weaponized everything. but remember, this is a dangerous 2 way street. the trump tax returns once again show how proudly successful i've been. and how i've been able to use depreciation and various other tax deductions successful not donald trump is the only president since richard nixon, not to disclose his taxes of m all. it's bringing peter matthew as professor of political science and political analyst. he's joining us from long beach and florida. good to have you with us. let's talk about the content of these documents . first of all, what have we actually learned from them? we've learned that donald from paid very little taxes will make millions of dollars

in profits, and he did it through writing off losses with some questionable the right out as well as claiming that, you know, he went back up a few times too. but in this case, it was basically trying to get away with a loophole, legal loopholes and some that were questionable and being in right off a lot of right off a lot of income. as you mentioned, 0 income tax, they paid in $22700.00 in 2 years during, during the presidency, just $150.00. so that's what it was all about. and the question like we just investigated questions are going on right now. and some of call is water getting on steroid. you mentioned president nixon, what again on story is what we have right now with all of these gambles that the president trump has been going through. this is the latest one. really. is there anything of those documents that would tell us why he was so keen on keeping the secret? one thing is it shows that he was not a great business person or businessman. he lost a lot of money during his time. the trump university fiasco. he did have to settle that $25000000.00 to the students, they defrauded. and in the end,

the several out of court. but that means he wrote down. he wrote that money out in taxes. so to show that he didn't, wasn't a great business for us. and also the point is been paid very little taxes. 3 percent income tax. in 20182017. i believe it was 3 percent 4 percent. while he was making millions of $1.10, that's a lot less taxes than most american middle class americans pay at least 20 to 25 percent in federal tax. and that's why they feel a lot of people are concerned about this. right. do you think this will have any impact on his political future? it very well could. i would say that his own supporters are read, die hard and very committed to him. and there still am not a majority of the country. there are about half the population of the republican party, but they are good when the primary election, when if he runs again, he said he's gonna run. he couldn't win. the primary will probably lose the general is for is the forest won't leave him on the primaries even despite what we just find out with his tax returns. but he lost galvanized some of the hard working

working class democratic borders to vote because he'll be very resentful of the fact that he paid so little taxes while they don't pay a lot more. all right, peter matthews, their professor political science and political analysts joining us from long beach in florida. thank you so much for your time california. thank you. ok. as brazil starts preparations to swear in a new president, lula da silva, the outgoing president, joe ball sanara has flown to florida on a visit to the u. s. he's expected to break traditions and not attend to the inauguration of his rival this sunday. but samples on our ro sell some of balls and our supporters refused to accept his election defeat, and they have lead protests in many cities. people after gathering in brazil to show support for outgoing president shade folsado. here outside military headquarters in the capital brazilian. they demand that lula da silva be prevented
