0:00.0 | All right, thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Plumon. Welcome to primetime breaking news. |
0:04.5 | The best answer yet to why the president is hiding his taxes. When you see the years and the |
0:10.6 | tears from investors and his gambits and maybe even a potential scam, it is hard to see how our |
0:16.4 | president can brag about his business acumen. We have one of the reporters who broke the story. |
0:21.9 | And we also have one of the oversight hawks in the house who's been fighting for the most recent |
0:27.1 | taxes. Where will Democrats take the battle next? And Senator Mitch McConnell has struck again. |
0:33.8 | The master of disaster when it comes to trying to shut the door on Democrats now says the probe |
0:40.2 | is case closed. Before we even hear from Mueller, Democratic leader Schumer accuses him of |
0:46.8 | aiding and abetting the Russians. We'll debate. It's another big night. What do you say? Let's get after it. |
0:57.4 | All right, so the president has given a new meaning to being a 1%er. His losses accounted for |

1:35.3 | a decade in the red. Why are they blue? Deals he bragged about were disasters. And a new |
1:41.6 | allegation that the president may have been front running stocks in curious fashion to make up some |
1:47.1 | of that loss. A very different narrative to us when he was running for election. |
1:53.9 | I built a tremendous business. I filed my papers with a federal election. They couldn't even believe |
1:59.7 | that there was so many of those guys back there. I built an unbelievable some of the greatest |
2:04.7 | assets in the world. Very little debt. Tremendous cash flow. Tremendous. |
2:11.0 | Cannot believe what he says. The new figure show over $1 billion in business losses. So bad. |
