Before us. Our work today is a ministerial nature. We are here to combine the legislative recommendations from the finance and the energy and Natural Resources committee and report the combined bill to the full senate.

As the times puts it. We should note nbc news has not independently reviewed that 20 years worth of tax return data, but the times says they show the president has made millions from his fame and name, and lost millions on risky deals, then used the losses to avoid paying taxes.
