US President Donald Trump. He faces fresh allegations over his tax returns, weeks before the November 3, 2020 election. [File]US President Donald Trump paid just $750 ($1=Sh108.40) in federal income taxes in 2016, the year he won the election, The New York Times reported Sunday, citing tax return data extending more than 20 years. His tax returns, a key talking point in the 2016 election, have been a constant presence during his presidency and ahead of the November 3 election, when Trump is seeking a second term. Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, told the paper in response that "over the past decade, President Trump has paid tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes to the federal government, including paying millions in personal taxes since announcing his candidacy in 2015."
