Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump quipped about his tax returns Wednesday while meeting with a bipartisan group of senators on tax reform, according to multiple sources.
A source familiar with the meeting said that Trump flippantly made a comment along the lines of "'you might see my taxes one day'" or "'maybe I'll release them one day, who knows?'"
Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican, was in the meeting and confirmed the remark.
"He just mentioned his tax returns. Everybody knows the controversies, everybody chuckled," Cassidy said, describing it as a nonchalant comment.
"So I wouldn't take it too seriously," he added.

(15,543 posts)He* is farting in the Senators faces. He's also farting in the face of every decent, honorable tax-paying American. He is mocking us all for wanting fair, honest, competent leaders and government.
