President Donald Trump said Wednesday morning that he does not want to release his tax returns while he is under an audit and argued that Americans don’t actually care whether they see them.
“Now, I will say this, I would love to give them, but I’m not going to do it while I’m under audit. It’s very simple,” he said. “Remember, I got elected last time. The same exact issue with the same intensity, which wasn’t very much because, frankly, the people don’t care.”

A most defensive Trump this morning:
Translation: the Mueller Report is coming out. It’s bad. I’m going to distract on obstruction by going the full Nunes to attack the ‘oranges’ of the investigation as corrupt, which would therefore justify my being corrupt. Everyone who isn’ for me will be branded as a traitor because I really hate that word as I keep getting caught in situations where I sell my country out for a buck.
