His answers to the NYT story is "it's fake" and "I will release my tax return and clear up everything as soon as his audit is done", though his audit has been 5 years plus and still going.......

He has no real answers to these news reports.

That never was the cause for all other presidents to conceal them. They all opened their books for scrutiny.

It doesn't magically last over 5 years as Trump tends to suggest.

So they could release older and audit completed taxes. But he just refuses to do so.

In 2004, one of the most damaging stories that couldn't quite be confirmed against the Bush administration was that it was spying on citizens. Various reporters tried a lot of different approaches to prove that Bush was acting unconstitutionally in obtaining FISA court warrants to dig up dirt on U.S. citizens. It was something that a lot of people said would be a game changer and a dealbreaker for a second Bush term. Well, the New York Times had the story early in 2004, but sat on it until December when it didn't matter anymore. Bush won re-election and claimed a mandate for everything, even the secret illegal stuff. The Times lame excuse for withholding the story is that they didn't want to influence the election.
