it s just not true. and, so, please, go to you didn t delete them. allow her to respond, please. personal e-mail. not official. 33,000? well we turned over 35,000. oh, yeah. what about the over 15,000? please allow her to respond. she didn t talk while you talked. reporter: clinton becoming visibly frustrated. okay, donald. i know you re into big diversion tonight, anything to avoid talking about your campaign, and the way it s exploding, and the way republicans are leaving you. reporter: trump, at times, seemingly uncomfortable. pacing around the stage and hovering over clinton. the billionaire admitting that he wrote off nearly $1 billion in losses. and didn t pay federal income taxes in some years. did you use that $916 million loss to avoid paying personal federal income taxes? of course i don t. of course i don t. reporter: trump making a stunning admission when pressed about governor mike pence. flatly contradicting his running mate s call to use mil
breaks for the wealthy. trump evoked the wealthy clinton supporter during the debate last night as he agained his use of the tax code to avoid paying federal income taxes for 18 years. here s what trump said. you have not answered, though, a simple question. did you use that $916 million loss to avoid paying personal federal income taxes. of course i do. of course i do. and so do all of her donors, most of her donors. i know many of her donors. her donors took massive tax write-offs. number one, i pay tremendous number of taxes. i absolutely used it. so did warren buffett, so did george soros, so did many of the other people that hillary is getting money from. buffett wasted no time responding issuing this statement, i m quoting him, mr. trump says he knows more about taxes than any other human. he has not seen my income tax returns, but i am happy to give him the facts. i have paid federal income tax every year since 1944 when i was
all those people who don t like hillary clinton, you know that goes too far. we will track this i think at some of the reaction. i felt like we were at a rally at times. it was the same things we hear at trump rallies. you heard some of the crowd start cheering. that fueled him. i don t know he was thinking it through that may sound like he is a dictator. i think he was going through what works on the stump. the taxes came up last night. donald trump tried to let s hear what he said about his taxes and you can take it. you have not answered a simple question. did you use that $916 million loss to avoid paying personal income tax. of course, i do. so do all of her donors or most of her donors. i will tell you i pay tremendous numbers of taxes. i absolutely used it. so did warren buffett and george
did you use that $916 million loss to avoid paying personal federal income taxes? of course i do. of course i do. and so do all of her donors or most of her donors but i will tell you that number one, i pay tremendous numbers of taxes. i absolutely used it and so did warren buffett and so did george soros. could be a very big admission but also, i would say on the flipside, he turned. he used the p word, different p word and turned it on her, an indictment of hillary clinton and her donors. he expects her to answer for not only her husband s failure but also what everyone else did on their tax returns. you can understand minimizing how many taxes have you to pay. everybody does that. but the question for the american people is what has this man actually contributed to the country. we know he hasn t been paying taxes. we know he wasn t giving any money to charity. what has he actually demonstrated in his 70 years of life that he actually cares about anything but himself and
one thing i do is get rid of carried interest. one of the greatest provisions for people like me to be honest with you, i give up a lot when i run because i knock out the bect the tax code. sorry, donald on that one. the claim that his tax plan would hurt him seems to be false. his business, real estate business, doesn t really use carried interest. we haven t seen his taxes so we re not certain he doesn t make use of this but in general the real estate business does not. his advisors have told me on several owe kags now that his tax plan would not change the part of the tax code that he used that would allow him to take that $916 million deduction. they think that is good tax policy. many democrats do. but he would not suffer in any way. in fact, given the tax cuts for the wealthy in his plan, in addition to the repealing of the estate tax, donald trump would appear to benefit handsomely from his own tax plan, brian.
