IAN IS AWAY. A U.S. CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE HAS RELEASED DONALD TRUMP'S TAX RETURNS, PERSONAL AND BUSINESS, COVERING THE YEARS OF HIS PRESIDENCY. THEY SHOW THAT WHILE TRUMP DECLARED HIMSELF A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN TO VOTERS, HIS DECLARATIONS TO THE I.R.S. WERE VERY DIFFERENT. AS PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT PAID LITTLE TO NO TAXES MOST YEARS, THANKS TO CHRONIC FINANCIAL LOSSES. IN OTHER WORDS, EVEN IN OFFICE TRUMP CONTINUED TO BE TRUMP. AS JOHN PAUL TASKER SHOWS US, EVEN THOUGH I.R.S. AUDITS ARE MANDATORY FOR THOSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE, SOMEHOW THAT RULE DIDN'T APPLY TO THIS PRESIDENT. >> Reporter: SIX YEARS OF DONALD TRUMP'S TAX RETURNS HAVE BEEN MADE PUBLIC FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. THE DOCUMENTS ARE AWASH IN RED INK, TRUMP AND HIS BUSINESSES LOST MONEY FOR YEARS. HE ALSO CLAIMED TAX CREDITS TO OFFSET THE LITTLE HE DID OWE. THE RESULT IN BOTH 2016 AND 2017, HE PAID JUST $750 IN FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. IN 2020, THE LAST FULL YEAR OF HIS PRESIDENCY, HE DIDN'T PAY A CENT. OVER THE FOUR-YEAR SPAN IN OFFICE, HE PAID $1.1 MILLION IN TOTAL, TAXES OWED AFTER SELLING SOME REAL ESTATE. >> I NEED TO FIND HIS ACCOUNTANT, YEAH, BECAUSE THIS IS -- IT'S CRAZY. >> Reporter: ON THE STREETS OF WASHINGTON, THE REACTION FROM SOME WASN'T ANGER BUT ENVY. >> I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IS GOING TO WONDER WHY DO I DO THAT? HOW DO I LOWER MY TAX BILL? >> AS LONG AS HE PAYS IT LEGALLY, I DON'T THINK THERE SHOULD BE ANY ISSUES. >> Reporter: THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS JOHN PLAYING THE DOCUMENT DUMP, TELLING VOTERS TODAY THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE. >> THE RADICAL DEMOCRATS' BEHAVIOUR IS A SHAME UPON THE U.S. CONGRESS. >> I WOULD WANT MORE INFORMATION ON HOW ON EARTH THAT HAPPENED. >> Reporter: THIS TAX EXPERT SAYS THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO. AS PRESIDENT, TRUMP SHOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH MANDATORY AUDITS. HE DIDN'T, UNTIL THE DEMOCRATS CAME CALLING. >> WERE THEY ORDERED NOT TO DO IT? OR DID THEY NOT DO IT OUT OF FEAR OF REPRISAL? >> Reporter: WHILE EVERY PRESIDENT SINCE RICHARD NIXON HAS RELEASED THEIR TAX RETURNS VOLUNTARILY, TRUMP'S ALLIES SAY FORCING THE DISCLOSURE SETS A PRECEDENT. >> THE POLITICAL ENEMIES LIST IS BACK IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND WE WORRY THIS...
