CNN Host Grills Trump Spokesman On Taxes: Is Trump Really Even Under Audit? (VIDEO)

CNN host Chris Cuomo grilled Donald Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller on the Republican candidate’s refusal to release his tax returns, asking if Miller “has any proof” that Trump even is under audit.

“You love transparency when it’s not you guys. You don’t see any irony in that?” Cuomo asked Miller in an interview on CNN’s “New Day” Monday morning. “Why don’t you release Trump’s taxes if you think transparency is such a good thing?”

“As soon as his audit is completed, those will be released,” Miller said.

Cuomo wasn’t having it. “Do you think anybody believes the audit thing when they’re going to the polls tomorrow?” he asked.

“Absolutely,” Miller said.

“Do you have any proof of an audit?” Cuomo pressed.

Miller laughed. “Yes, of course,” he said.

“Yeah?” Cuomo said. “You do? Have you seen an audit letter?”

“Chris, let’s not get away from the fact—” Miller began.

“That is the fact, though, right?” Cuomo said. “Transparency only works one way in this election where Trump is involved.”

He offered to show Miller an audit letter of his own.

“Well, some day when I get to make as much money as you do, then we’ll go take a look,” Miller said.

“I don’t know what you’re making,” Cuomo said, laughing. “I hope you’re getting paid a lot for this.”

  1. Team Trump – as transparent as a canvas sack of manure.

  2. “I don’t know what you’re making,” Cuomo said, laughing. “I hope you’re getting paid a lot for this.”

    Oh, I don’t know. What’s the value of a soul?

  3. Gee, how nice of them to be finally asking about his returns 1 day before the freaking election while we’ve been incessantly bombarded for months with the e-mail bullshit.

  4. Now see, that’s how to treat these people. Just laugh right in their faces and make it clear they’re lying and you know they’re lying.

    He’s been repeatedly asked for those returns. I agree about the e-mails, but the returns have been brought up repeatedly by the media and by GOP leaders as well.

  5. I’m sure Jason Miller weighs approximately 21 grams less than he did before joining Team Trump.
