According to the report from the New York Times, Trump has been avoiding tax.  But it now appears that he has debts of over $400 million and these are debts to other countries.  According to the Democrat leader this causes a national security risk as he may be influenced by these other countries.   The New York Times says he paid his daughter over $700 thousand through another company; he then said this was a cost to his company.  She was part of the Trump organisation and she had a job to manage projects; but then she was paid through another company for the same job she was supposed to be doing.   He claimed tax relief for $70 thousand dollars for one year for looking after his hair when he was on TV.  He denies all this and claims he pays millions in tax.  The New York Times says this is not his personal tax.
