Trump’s claim IRS is persecuting him for being Christian debunked–by his own lawyers
[su_center_b]
Donald Trump has claimed the IRS is auditing him because he’s a “strong Christian.” His lawyers say that’s not the issue.
Trump’s campaign shed some light on the issue yesterday when it released a letter from his lawyers confirming that the candidate is being audited. But, at the same time, it undermined Trump’s claim that he is facing specific targeting for his well-known Christian beliefs:
Trump’s tax returns have been under “continuous examination” by the IRS since 2002, “consistent with the IRS’ practice for large and complex businesses,” the lawyers wrote.
Seeing that the lawyers called the audits “consistent with the IRS’ practice for large and complex businesses,” we are not sure how Trump can continue to say with a straight face that the audit is actually an act of anti-Christian persecution.
