Trump: 'Experts throughout the media agree' it would be insane to release taxes during an audit

Donald Trump has responded to demands that he release his tax forms by saying that last year’s taxes filed early this year are under IRS audit. Trump also has claimed that his taxes have been subjected to an IRS audit for the past several years.

Trump says the conventional wisdom is that it would be crazy to release taxes to the public during an audit:

Tax experts throughout the media agree that no sane person would give their tax returns during an audit. After the audit, no problem!

Is that so?

No, they don't. But then again, you're a lying liar who lies. https://t.co/nATZbCF1JZ

They also agree you are probably lying about being audited for multiple years in a row.

Release your taxes. https://t.co/a1yMcPXTeS

@realDonaldTrump you're literally the only person that thinks this is true

@realDonaldTrump What about releasing the ones from years that were NOT under audit? You two-faced liar.

Why not? Unless they screwed up horribly or you lied about income / deductions…
