Inside the NYT investigation into Trump's questionable tax schemes

Last week, reporters at The New York Times broke a major story that President Donald Trump helped his father "dodge" taxes, including "instances of outright fraud."

They're not done.
"We've got more leads and more string to pull. We're just going to keep going on it," investigative reporter Susanne Craig told CNN's Brian Stelter on "Reliable Sources" Sunday. "There's a lot of information that we've been given."

Craig, who shared a byline on the story with David Barstow and Russ Buettner, said there hopefully would be a part two.

According to the analysis by the Times, Trump helped "his parents dodge taxes" in the 1990s, including "instances of outright fraud" that allowed him to accumulate a fortune from them. Over his life, Trump has received at least $413 million in today's dollars from his father's real estate empire.

Craig said the story "will have legs" and will take a long time for people to digest."It sets down a factual narrative of his life that is very much in contrast with the one that's largely out there now," she said, referring to the image of Trump as a self-made billionaire.

I'm hoping NY authorities take some legal action, but until they do, it just does not matter.

And the press will continue to put on Republican after Republican after Republican to dismiss this story.
