"the times" has obtained some of the president's tax information from the years 1985 to 1994. this was a roller coaster period of time that saw trump go from being a pre-eminent symbol of the high-living '80s to a bankruptcy story. that story has been known but what we are knowing for the first are the details which are vivid and the numbers, which are staggering. quote, the data which are printouts from mr. trump's e, official internal revenue service tax transcripts with the figures from his federal tax firm, the 1040 from 1985 to 1994 represents the fullest and most detailed look to date at the president's taxes, information he has kept from public view.

"the times" report, white house officials asked at least twice in the past month for mcgahn to say publicly that he never believed the president obstructed justice. mr. mcgahn declined. his reluctance angered mr. trump who believed mcgahn showed disloyalty by telling investigators about mr. trump's attempts to maintain control over the russia investigation. the white house made one of the requests to mr. mcgahn's lawyer william a. burke, before the mue
