President Donald Trump said on Sept. 28 that he paid millions of dollars in taxes but was entitled to depreciation and tax credits, adding that he is “extremely under leveraged” and suggesting that he may release financial statements that show all his assets and debts.

Trump was responding to a New York Times report that claimed insight into the president’s tax returns, which he has fought to keep private and which Trump said the newspaper obtained “illegally” and then reported on with “only bad intent.”
