Donald Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns has long been a subject of conjecture. To that, we’d like to add a related mystery:
Why did the IRS begin auditing Donald Trump in 2002? Why that year in particular?
Donald Trump’s finances were always complicated and fertile ground for the IRS, yet, it only began auditing him in 2002.
This is particularly striking because that places the agency’s apparent sudden interest in Trump right after the time Felix Sater, an FBI informant, began working inside Trump Tower.
