"* the new york times says it's obtained more than two decades of president trump's tax return data that the president has spent years trying to conceal.

The bombshell report reveals a sharp discrepancy between the president's public images and his private practices in business.

The times says ... president trump paid 750 dollars in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency.

.

And 750 his first year in the white house.

He paid no income taxes at all in ten of the 15 years before that.

The times reports trump's properties are struggling ... and he has hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due.

It also shows he's in an i?

"*r?

*s audit battle that could cost him one?

"* hundred?

"* million dollars.

The president calls the article fake news ... and his attorney tells the paper he's paid tens of million of dollars in, quote, "personal taxes."

The times surmises that refers to taxes not related to his personal income ... such as social security for household staff.

With the election 36 days away..

There may be questions with how this new information will impact the outcome..

"* president trump has been the only president in modern history to not release his tax returns.

As you mentioned the new york times claims he paid just 750?*- dollars in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017.

It also revealed he's responsible for 421?

"*million?

"* dollars loans, with most of it due within the next four years.

Hardy says it's hard to say how this new information will impact the outcome of the election on november < i'm sure there are some swing voters in there that still don't know or maybe there are some that said they weren't going to vote that this will convince them one way or another.

This whole race has been so far beyond anything i've seen while i've been watching politics.

Joe biden and president trump will meet for their first debate tomorrow night in cleveland... hardy says he's sure this will be a topic both sides will want to discuss.
