Donald Trump did not pay federal taxes in 10 of the last 15 years, he only had to pay 750 dollars in 2016, the year he was elected to the presidency of the United States, in 2016, and the same amount during his first year in office, according to the exclusive information published this Sunday by

.

The Republican, the only US president in recent history to not disclose his tax information, is going through a difficult financial situation and faces the maturity of millions of dollars in debt, according to the Times, which claims to have had access to two decades of statements both of Trump as of his hundreds of companies.

They do not have the personal information of 2018 and 2019.

Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, the New York business conglomerate, told the newspaper that "most, if not all, of the facts seem imprecise" and said in a statement: "During the past decade, President Trump has paid dozens of millions of dollars in personal taxes since he announced his candidacy in 2015 ”.

Even so, the Times points out that the adviser mixes income taxes with other federal taxes and makes a tortuous use of the concept of tax credit.

The information supposes explicit material just a week before the presidential elections.

Trump, a Manhattan real estate businessman, has always bragged about being very good at business on the one hand and clever enough to pay low taxes on the other, but at the same time he has tried to hide all that information, traditionally made public by presidential candidates.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office had been demanding that information for some time, as had the Democrats in Congress, and the matter ended up in the Supreme Court, which in July made a decision and gave it one of lime and another of sand.

The highest court established that Trump cannot block the financial and fiscal information that the Prosecutor's Office demands, although he returned the congressional demand to the lower courts.
