president gyro also narrow. tell support is to fight on before flying to the us. we look at the challenges ahead for a lot of silver just a day away from his inauguration. and we take a look back at the highs and the low self sports in 2022 from the beijing olympics to the european football champs. we have some of the winners and losers of the last year. ah. hello monica jones, thanks for joining us. the u. s. house of representatives has released 6 years of donald trump's tax returns in one of its last acts under democratic control, the former president ford for years to keep them secret. now republicans warned that democrats will pay a political price by releasing what is normally confidential tax information 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 to 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 council criminal tax fraud. but trump remains defiant. in a statement he said, the radical left democrats have 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 texas. so what have we actually learned from those documents? that's what i asked me to. matthew's professor political science and political analyst joining us earlier from long beach california. we've learned a doll from paid very little taxes or making millions of dollars in profits and he did it through writing off for losses with so or questionable the write ups as well

as claiming that he went bankrupt a few times to. but in this case, it was basically trying to get away with loophole legal loopholes and some that were questionable and being run off a lot of right off a lot of income. as you mentioned, 0 income tax, they paid in 2020 and 700 dollars and 2 years during, during his presidency, just $150.00 pens. so that's what it was all about. and the credit, like we just investigated, questions are going on right now. and some a call is watergate on steroids. you mentioned president nixon, what again on storage 0 is what we have right now with all of these gambles that the president trump has been going through as of the latest one. really it, is there anything of those documents that it would tell us why he was so keen on keeping them secret? one thing is it shows that he was not a great business person or businessman he, he lost a lot of money during his time. the trump university fiasco, he did have to sell that $25000000.00 to the students that he defrauded. and in the end of the summer, out of court. but that means he wrote that off. he wrote that money off in taxes.

so to show that he didn't, wasn't a great business for us. and also the point is that he paid very little taxes. 3 percent income tax in 2018 in 2017. i believe it was 3 percent 4 percent. while he was making millions of dollars or hundreds of thousands, that's a lot less taxes than most american middle class americans stay at least 20 to 25 percent in federal taxes. and that's where the fuel shot a lot of people are very concerned about this. right, do you think this will have any impact on his political future? it very well could lucila his own supporters are re die hard and very committed to him. and there still am not a majority of the country. there about half the population of the republican party, but they are, they could win the primary election 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 for what leave him in 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 voters to vote because he'll be very resentful in the fact that he paid a little taxes will then pay

a lot more for little analysts to peter matthews. there. as brazil stars preparations to swear in a new precedent to let her silver, the outgoing president, a jar ball, so narrow has flown to florida on a visit to the u. s. is expected to break tradition and not attend to the inauguration of his rival this sunday. but some of both and our supporters refused to accept his election defeat and they have led protests in many cities. people often gathering in brazil to show support for outgoing president j it paulson adul here outside military headquarters in the capital, brazilian, they demand that loser. the silver be prevented from coming to power. bolts are not all lost the election to his left. a striking in october in his 1st broadcast since then, he defended his presidency. yet my figueroa,
