Donald Trump paid $200,000 in taxes to China between 2013 and 2015 but remitted no personal income tax to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 10 of the 15 years before he became president, according to the Guardian. Trump still maintains a bank account in China and spent years pursuing business deals there, a potential conflict of interest for a president who has vowed to stand up to Beijing. Also:
- Trump opened a Chinese bank account “in order to pay the local taxes” and “no deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialized and, since 2015, the office has remained inactive”-Trump’s Organization lawyer.
- Trump demanded his Attorney General, Bill Barr, launch a political investigation before the election into Joe and Hunter Biden on Hunter’s “major corruption” involving the Ukrainian energy firm “Burisma”.
