CNN host Chris Cuomo sparred with a Donald Trump spokesman on Monday by implying he doesn’t believe Trump when he says he can’t release his taxes because he’s being audited by the IRS.
Cuomo was talking to Jason Miller, a senior communications adviser to Trump, about Hillary Clinton’s emails, when Miller said the government should release all of the new emails they found.
“You love transparency when it’s not you guys,” Cuomo said. “You don’t see any irony in that. Why don’t you release your emails? Why don’t you release Trump’s taxes if you think transparency’s such a good thing for the American people?”
Miller repeated that Trump doesn’t want to release his taxes while he’s being audited, and Cuomo implied that no one believes he’s being audited at all.
“You think anybody believes the audit thing?” he asked.
“You have any proof of an audit?” Cuomo pressed. “Have you seen an audit letter?”
Cuomo then charged Trump’s team with only pushing for transparency when it comes to Clinton.
“That is the fact though, right?” he said. “Transparency only works one way in this election where Trump’s involved.”
