HuffPost
The former president said he didn't know about certain tax "stuff" at a Florida rally after his company was indicted for tax fraud.
CNN’s Jim Acosta has rolled the tape on Donald Trump after the former president seemed to play foolish about tax laws at a Florida rally on Saturday, following the indictment of his company and one of its top executives last week. Acosta said on CNN Sunday that Trump mentioned some of the facts of the case but did not actually dispute them. The Trump Organization and its CFO Allen Weisselberg were charged with multiple financial crimes Thursday by the Manhattan district attorney over an alleged tax fraud scheme. Both parties pleaded not guilty. “They go after good, hard-working people for not paying taxes on a company car. ‘You didn’t pay tax on the car! Or a company apartment! You used an apartment because you need an apartment because you have to travel too far where your house is, you didn’t pay tax, or education for your grandchildren,’” Trump said at the campaign-style rally in Sarasota.
