And what, if anything, did they reveal? That Trump paid $38m (£31.1) in tax on an income of $150m (£122.7).
That sounds strangely reasonable. It’s an effective tax rate of 25%, which is pretty low for a high roller such as Trump. Hillary Clinton paid at a rate of 31% that year.
Bombshell, you said. Moreover, $31m of the $38m he did pay was incurred due to something called the “alternative minimum tax”, which Trump has pledged to eliminate.
Mildly scandalous! Indeed, so mild that Johnston speculated Trump may have leaked the pages himself.
