“I think it’s a very unfair thing because I have been under audit almost, like, since I became famous, OK?”

President Donald Trump, who has all but ruled out disclosing his tax information, claimed on Sunday that he could release his tax returns “soon,” following the completion of a routine IRS audit.

“It could happen soon. I don’t know,” he said in an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “I think it’s pretty routine, to be honest with you. But then I’ll make a decision.”

Last week, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin declared that Trump “has no intention” of releasing his tax returns, which he repeatedly promised to do while running for president but falsely claimed that he couldn’t because he’s being audited.

The IRS has said that “nothing prevents individuals from sharing their own tax information,” including being audited.
