joining me is susan craig of the "new york times." she shares the byline of this record, showing over $1 billion in business losses. this is incredible in its scope and detail. you could just lay out in your reporting and again it is on the "new york times," so people should go and read the full thing. but we're talking over a billion dollars over a decade. >> that is just for his core businesses. every year that we looked at, he lost money and the losses grew as he went further into the casinos and the losses that hop in there. but it is unbelievable. we would have thought at least in one of the years that we saw, maybe the year he wrote "art of the deal", he would have made money but he didn't. he was bleeding money every year that we looked at his businesses. >> and certainly years donald trump according to your reporting lost more than nearly any other individual taxpayer in the united states, is that right? >> yeah. it is incredible because we had both tax information and able to compare it to a data base of people who make a fai

the times reporter worked with susan craig, is it right?and investigative journalist david k. johnson also had some of trump's 2005 taxes sent to him. he's been reported on this for many years vindicated in part by the reporting from the new york times today. so two things. one, i am not familiar with the president as a stock investor or a front runner of stocks. you put it in the piece. how sure are you of it and what does it say to you? >> i don't think it's news to the people that covered president trump in the 1980s. there was a brief period where he seems to have learned that he could just talk about buying a company. he would buy a significant investment in a company with a loan from a broker and make a public comment or leak a public comment that he might take it over. the stock would rise and he would sell and that lasted a couple of years before investors realized he wasn't following through. those were documented at the time by casino regulators in new jersey very concerned about his finances because they were worried his casinos

with me now is susan craig she's been on the team covering trump's tax returns. >> most recently yourtion a decade in the read. why do you think -- and there's so much focus on this topic now. >> i think the. >> they have subpoena power, requesting his taxes, things are moving. that's been in the last six months really critical in terms of, he's fighting, it appears he's willing to go to court it's created. >> going back decades and looking at some of those in the past, how much of the press is at fault for building up trump's image as a billionaire businessman. >> i think they're very complicit. for years his wealth was sensationalized. it allowed for him to create this myth that started when he was really very young. there's been people who questioned it along the way. >> right. >> you even noted our article that we wrote in 1976 from "the new york times." that article said he was worth, just repeated his claim, $200 million. everything he was claiming in that article pretty much everything was owned by his father. we now know looking back. he reported taxable income that year of $2

one thing that susan craig said last night on msnbc is they do not know the sources because they do not have the tax returns. they don't know where the money came in from. they just know where it went. >> i think it's important to remember, i don't even think the request for the president's tax return goes back to the incredible returns that the new york times uncovered. >> it's just the past six years. >> i think it's extremely important to focus on the bigger picture of the contemptous attitude this administration is showing toward the role of congress. not just with the tax return, the redacted report, not just in mueller's testimony, not just in mcgahn's testimony, but overall they think congress has no business doing a redo. i think was the word the other day. legitimate legislative purpose is not up to the executive branch to determine. whether we should be getting every single word of the report or every single person should have access, i think that's a different question. the overall contemptous attitude of this administration towards a co-equal branch is something really impor

. >> susan craig, who wrote the report that's pulling back the curtain on president trump's finances, revealing his prior business struggles were far worse than previously thought. staggering. >> this was the second biggest story of the day. mike, what was the biggest story of the day? >> liverpool. >> liverpool coming back. >> corinne edibincredible. >> random highlights? i don't want to see them coming out. we want to see -- >> the thing? >> we want to see -- >> anyway, we'll get to this later on. we have with it roger bennett, who is going to be coming. one of the greatest comebacks in the history of european football. yeah, not roger. that's a sad, sad story. that's not a great comeback. anyway, we're going to be talking about liverpool in a little bit. very excited to have julia here, too. >> really great to have you with us. >> thanks for having me up here. it is great to be off my corner at the justice department, seeing my colleagues in person again. >> once in a while, right? we have a get to get -- a lot to get to with you. >> anybody that walks behind you with signs will be

craig boswell on the hill. thanks. >>> fed one robo calls -- f up with robo calls? some lawmakers are, too. now there could be legislatn to help. consumer reporter susan hogan with more on how these bills could help hang up on those annoying calls. >> reporter: when it comes to robo calls, it's unanimous, they're aggravating. robo calls aren't just oyannng, they're also costing us billions of dollars. i >> if count the products that came for home repairs and services where they were not legitimate, it probably would run into the hundreds or thousands. >> reporter: in the last 12 months, consumers lost an estimated $10.5 billion to phone scams. >> robo calls have become the scourge for consumers. >> the number now is 47.8 billion calls a year. >> reporter: now congress is looking into legislation that would beef up existing laws and put an end to spoofed calls where scammers match their identity with fake numbers that might look familiar or local. >> the protections in place haven't been done enough to stop robo calls from hounding consumers. the proposal in congressed require companies to implement better technology to help stop the calls. a huge win
