New York Times Coverage of Donald Trump's Finances
Anthony Scaramucci defends Donald Trump against a New York Times investigation into his inheritance and taxes, arguing that being aggressive within the "seams" of the tax code is legal. He cites the legal precedent of Justice Learned Hand regarding tax avoidance. Scaramucci contends that the average American views Trump as a self-made success story regardless of the specific dollar amount he inherited from his father, Fred Trump.
