Asked Monday whether the president would authorize the IRS to confirm the existence of audits involving his returns, Spicer did not answer. But Spicer rejected that suggestion on Monday as he gave reporters the administration's regular line.
'They are, ' he interjected. The audience clearly did not think Cotton's excuses passed the smell test, and booed him for perpetuating his fellow Republican's ongoing cover-up. It's the same thing that was discussed during the campaign trail. "It's a routine audit that continues".
"Is it time to say once and for all the president is never going to release his tax returns?".
"I'm sure a careful tax attorney would advise him not to disclose it in the middle of an audit", Joseph Thorndike, director of the Tax History Project at Tax Analysts, told USA Today in February 2016.
Throughout his young presidency, Trump has frequently rehashed campaign-related controversies that other presidents would have long let go.
Tax March PDX organized a rally demanding President Trump release his latest tax returns at the Terry Schrunk Plaza at 1 p.m. on April 15 as part of a nationwide movement.
"I did what was an nearly impossible thing to do for a Republican - easily won the Electoral College! Now Tax Returns are brought up again?" he followed up at 9 a.m. The election is over!'

One of Trump's sharpest critics in the House spoke to protesters at the U.S. Capitol just before they set off on a march to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, of California, said there's nothing to prevent Trump from releasing his income taxes.
'"If you release them and you're not hiding anything, the American people can feel rest assured that at least our democracy is protected".
"Now along with the polls showing 74 percent of all Americans want to see his returns, there's an example of hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating it", he said.
"Show us your taxes" reads a sign at the New York City tax day protest Saturday.
Spicer: "No, I said I'd have to get back to you on that. he is still under audit".
'The only way we can know what kind of business ties our president has with businesses all over the world is by looking at his tax returns.
"I think all of us are happy that he heard us, just for one simple reason, it's the point of protests", Shockley said. "This is something that he made very clear during the election cycle", Spicer said.
