Pelosi blasts Trump tax practices as a 'disdain for America's working families'

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday blasted President Trump over a New York Times report detailing how he has largely avoided paying income taxes and received money from foreign sources as president.
The New York Times obtained more than two decades of Trump's tax returns and found that the president only paid $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017, and paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years largely because he reported losing more money than he earned.
"Let's come back to what we take an oath to protect and defend. This president is the commander in chief. He has exposure to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. To whom? the public has a right to know," Pelosi said during an interview on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."
"It's a disdain for America's working families. It's not right," Pelosi said. "Any sense of an ethical, fair, moral approach to governance and respect for the people? Paying your fair share, Mr. President."
