WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s lawyers say a review of his last 10 years of tax returns do not reflect ‘‘any income of any type from Russian sources,’’ with some exceptions.
The lawyers did not release copies of Trump’s tax returns so The Associated Press cannot independently verify their conclusions.
The letter says there is no equity investment by Russians in entities controlled by Trump or debt owed by Trump to Russian lenders. It does reflect income from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant held in Moscow and a property sold to a Russian billionaire in 2008 for $95 million.
The White House says Trump asked his lawyers for a letter following a request from Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who heads one of the congressional committees investigating Russia’s interference in last year’s election.

Here's the actual letter from the lawyer
Law firm @POTUS used to show he has no ties to Russia was named Russia Law Firm of the Year for their extensive ties to Russia. Unreal.

Afternoon, comrades!
Trisec has an actual day off. I am currently home sipping Jack Daniels and eating cookies.
But we got a new washing machine delivered this morning - I've been busy most of the day already. Time to bring it in.
