What we know about Donald Trump’s tax returns

Donald Trump’s aides raged to each other about their future prospects while Rudy Giuliani and other Trump allies persisted in their efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the immediate hours after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.

Those were the revelations we learned as the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot released its final report this weekend, including a massive new trove of documents and transcripts of witness testimony gathered over the course of the probe.

Among the released documents include text messages from Mr Trump’s White House staffers as well as members of Congress.

Text messages from Mr Trump’s most-trusted aide Hope Hicks reveal that she was angry that the violent insurrection would hamper her future job prospects.

“In one day, he ended every future opportunity that doesn’t include speaking engagements at the local Proud Boys chapter,” she wrote in one message.

“And all of us that didn’t have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed. I’m so mad and upset. We all look like domestic terrorists now.”

Separately, the House Ways and Means committee last week published Mr Trump’s tax returns from 2016-2020 following a years-long legal battle.
