NY Times Reporters Brush Off Lawsuit Threat Over Publishing Trump Tax Forms
By NICKI ROSSOLL - Oct 2, 2016, 12:15 PM ET
Two of the New York Times reporters who wrote a story on three pages from Donald Trump's 1995 tax returns reportedly showing he declared a $916 million loss said they aren't worried about being sued for publishing the tax document.
"Last time I checked it wasn’t a crime to check your mailbox," Times reporter Susanne Craig told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview.
Craig said she received a package in her mailbox at the Times last Friday with the return address shown as Trump Tower.
"I opened it, and there was several pages of Donald Trump’s tax returns in it," said Craig, who was interviewed along with fellow Times reporter David Barstow on ABC's "This Week.
The Times article says that a lawyer for Trump, Marc E. Kasowitz, emailed a letter to the Times warning that publication of the records is illegal because the Republican nominee has not authorized the disclosure of any of his tax returns. “Mr. Kasowitz threatened ‘prompt initiation of appropriate legal action,’” the Times reported.
