White House Dogs Dig Up Trump's Tax Returns on South Lawn



WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In what is being hailed as an amazing act of canine heroism, President Joe Biden’s two German shepherds have dug up Donald J. Trump’s tax returns on the South Lawn of the White House.

According to sources, shortly after the President let Champ and Major out to play in the snow, they started sniffing one small patch of the lawn and digging intently.

Within minutes, the two White House pooches had unearthed twenty years’ worth of Trump’s federal tax returns, which they eagerly deposited on the Oval Office carpet for their master’s perusal.

Although it was unclear how, exactly, the returns came to be buried on the White House grounds, at Trump’s home in Palm Beach the former President was overheard screaming at his son Eric.

Back at the White House, Biden had little to say about Champ and Major’s adventure other than “Good boys.”

Or the world has become too bizarre. I've been burned by this writer before. Now, I check for the Borowitz label before getting worked up over ridiculous reports. (Alas, I don't find it as often as one might expect.)

Maybe if the hounds had a backhoe — and that’s not a subtle reference to Melania (at least not here and now) — would they be able to unearth that many financial skeletons!

Keep digging!
