The White House was left fuming Tuesday night as Rachel Maddow revealed that she had obtained Donald Trump’s tax returns.
In a tweet ahead of her 9pm ET MSNBC show, Maddow tweeted: ‘BREAKING: We’ve got Trump tax returns… (Seriously).’ She later clarified that they were his 2005 returns.
In response, an indignant White House told CNN: ‘You know you are desperate for ratings when you’re prepared to violate the law to push a story about tax returns from over a decade ago.’
It went on to say that Trump paid $38 million on an income of $150 million that year, in addition to sales and exise taxes and employment taxes.
The release concludes that ‘it is totally illegal to steal and publish tax returns,’ and fired off a parting shot about the ‘dishonest media.’
Trump had become the first presidential candidate in years to disclose his tax returns during the run-up to the election.
