Trump used dubious methods to avoid taxes: report

Donald Trump used tactics to avoid paying taxes that were so "legally dubious" that his own lawyers advised him the government would deem them improper, the New York Times reported Tuesday. Citing newly obtained documents, the Times said the Republican presidential candidate was scrambling to stave off financial ruin in the 1990s and worked to avoid reporting hundreds of millions of dollars in taxable income. The report said Congress later outlawed one of the tactics Trump used that potentially allowed him to avoid paying tens of millions of dollars in personal income taxes.
