Leah Millis/Reuters President Donald Trump keeps making excuses about why he won't release his tax returns. On Tuesday, Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former lawyer and longtime fixer, pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges, including tax fraud and making false statements to a bank. On the same day, Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, was convicted on eight counts, including five tax fraud charges. Trump, meanwhile, still hasn’t released his tax returns. On Wednesday, he tweeted how unfair it was that Manafort was facing repercussions for a “12 year old tax case.” He seemed awfully adamant that authorities shouldn’t go after such old tax crimes.
