Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on Thursday called for greater congressional scrutiny of President Trump ’s finances, including allegations that he used his charitable foundation to avoid taxes.
Waters told reporters Thursday that the House should be focused on exposing whether Trump committed financial crimes alleged by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, before a House panel Wednesday.
She said she believes Trump may have used his charitable foundation “to avoid paying taxes on money that he has earned.
“I think there’s more than we know about at this time,” said Waters, the chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee. She added that she received a letter “from somebody who told me about a situation that they want to talk with me more about,” but did not elaborate.
