What spin? It would be a stupid move. Would you publicize your tax information during an audit? I sure as hell wouldn't. 10 accountants can come up with 10 interpretations. You have firm opinions about things you know nothing about.Nice try. Nobody said he couldn't release them if he wanted. It just isn't a smart thing to do while under audit. Are you trying to act stupid or is it natural?Trump is being audited.....
haaaaaa.... and what?

Donald Trump Won't Release His Tax Returns While Under Audit. But Richard Nixon Did.

As for Trump, he has consistently refused to release any portion of his returns, including the Form 1040. While thumbing his nose at four decades of tradition, he’s offered up a variety of excuses, saying his returns are too big, too complicated, or still unfinished.
Most recently, Trump has explained his failure to release by saying that his returns are under audit by the IRS. He seems to think that’s a real excuse, but it’s not. There is no legal bar to releasing a tax return while it’s being audited, as the IRS has confirmed.
More to the point, there’s precedent for releasing returns while they’re being audited: Richard Nixon did it more than 40 years ago.
Nixon was not a guy naturally inclined to be transparent. But in the fall of 1973, he was in a world of hurt concerning his personal finances. In particular, critics were suggesting there was something fishy about his tax returns. Nixon defended himself, even insisting to one dubious audience that “I’m not a crook.”
