Discussion on Presidential Tax Accountability

Here's the thing, Mr. Chairman.

Here's the thing, Mr. Chairman.

You even have conservatives coming out and saying,

these things are not worth the paper they're drawn on.

I have a lot of respect for my colleagues,

love the state of Texas. But I'm going to say it very clear.

This is all hat and no cattle.

It's hard for me to say this as a plant-based guy, but where's the beef?

Where's the beef?

This is ridiculous.

We got nothing,

no guarantees whatsoever, that this slush fund still can't go forward.

We got nothing that the President of the United States

can't cheat on his taxes and have no accountability.

Dear God, folks,

it's not like we're talking about a president who is a saint.

No president in the history of this country has been caught in tax cheating more than this one.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning documentation

of his tax cheating came out in 2018.

Pulitzer Prize.

Donald Trump said, I'm going to sue you, it's all wrong.

That suit was thrown out because the president is a tax cheat.

But it didn't stop with that. He was a tax cheat with his nonprofit as well.

He created a so-called charity, but what did he do with that charity?

It was cited by the state of New York for self-dealing, for tax cheating, and was shut down.

We have a known arsonist,

and we have just in this committee given him a whole barrel full of gasoline

to light on fire our tax laws and have no accountability for the conflagration.

This is so ridiculous that we are sitting back here and allowing this to happen.

A president that we know is a tax cheat. That is a fact.

That is a fact.

We have now just given him an immunity to his tax cheating.
