The potential lie that could actually destroy Trump. Why the circumstances of Otto Warmbier's release is a question neither side of the aisle will ignore
By Matthew Walther

One thing that Donald Trump’s supporters intuited very early on is that his lies are, generally speaking, unimportant. Attempts — like this one — to catalogue them seem quixotic at best and at worst moronic. There are several reasons for this, the most important of which is that many of these are only “lies” in the sense that stand-up comedians or motivational speakers are “lying.” (This is not a problem unique to Trump: I defy the reader to identify any propositions in a speech about "values" that could even be evaluated as true or false without making a kind of category mistake.)

Even when there is some meaningful content that can be investigated the effort is rarely worth making. Have the numberless occasions on which Trump has been economical with the actualité made any difference — to his friends or his enemies? The former do not care; the latter are overwhelmed by the sheer volume.

But it would be foolish to think that there can be no exceptions to this rule. There must be things about which not even Trump could lie — clearly and demonstrably lie, I mean, not say something of doubtful or unverifiable authority — with impunity. The circumstances surrounding the rescue of Otto Warmbier, the American who died soon after being released from a North Korean prison last year, are, I think obviously one of these.

The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Trump had charged an American envoy with agreeing to pay a ransom of some $2 million in order to secure Warmbier’s release. The president denied this the next day:

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
No money was paid to North Korea for Otto Warmbier, not two Million Dollars, not anything else. This is not the Obama Administration that paid 1.8 Billion Dollars for four hostages, or gave five terroist hostages plus, who soon went back to battle, for traitor Sgt. Bergdahl!
4:12 AM · Apr 26, 2019

He followed this on Friday morning with another tweet in which he quoted the authority of one “Cheif [sic] Hostage Negotiator, USA”:

[x]
Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
“President Donald J. Trump is the greatest hostage negotiator that I know of in the history of the United States. 20 hostages, many in impossible circumstances, have been released in last two years. No money was paid.” Cheif Hostage Negotiator, USA!
4:32 AM · Apr 26, 2019

Just who is this Cheif, I wonder? A cousin of John Barron? He doesn’t pass the smell test. It does not necessarily follow from the fact that Trump made up a dubious-sounding quote to support his position that his underlying claim is false. It may very well be that he invented the Cheif in order to shore up a true claim that he cannot prove immediately or conveniently. But there are really only two meaningful possibilities here: Either the Post has totally botched this story or the president is lying through his teeth. At present it is impossible to know for certain which is the case.

But suppose for a moment that Trump is not telling the truth. I believe that this would be a lie with more potential to harm both his relationship with what is ostensibly his own party and his fortunes in next year’s presidential election than any falsehood he has unburdened himself of since being elected president.

This is the case because it would differ both in degree and in kind from his other lies. It would be different in degree because it would involve not a mere arbitrary denial of some discreditable event but the invention of a false one — the presentation of a totally different picture of how negotiations between the United States and North Korea proceeded.

More important, though, it would be different in kind because it would really be a lie about national security and the norms governing our response to the imprisonment of Americans by despotic regimes. If it really is the case that we will offer $2 million for the release of our citizens, any number of questions present themselves. Where did the $2 million figure come from? Was it negotiated up by the North Koreans, or down by the president or his representatives? Is that the most we are willing to pay? Are there special circumstances that made the release of Warmbier a priority — Trump's ongoing attempts to bring Kim Jong Un's nuclear ambitions under control, say — or is this a standing offer to any of our enemies? Should hostile governments around the world be taking notes? These are all hugely important questions.

Then there is the issue of how it would play out at home. This would be a lie concerning a subject about which most Americans have strong views — i.e., the lives of their fellow citizens in the hands of our enemies. I cannot imagine even Mitch McConnell defending Trump's attempt to cover up something as sordid as a ransom paid secretly in order to secure an outcome that was later passed off as the work of a heroic and skilled diplomat. It would be the opening that Republican critics of the president such as Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse and others who have long been on the fence — Lindsey Graham comes to mind — have been waiting for to declare open war.

It would be hell in an election year. Nothing would play more into, say, Joe Biden's hand than a real example of Trump cowering in front of America's enemies and then lying about it. It would not even matter if Trump responded that his predecessors had done similar things in the past. It would become almost impossible for the president to pose as a tough, shrewd negotiator who defends the lives and liberties of Americans at home and abroad.

It is worth saying again that we have no way of knowing whether the scenario I have just discussed will ever play out. It would certainly be unremarkable if it turned out that the Post’s reporting was false. The last two years of reporting on the Trump administration are a graveyard of sloppy journalism. But if they are right about this and their claims can be proven beyond reasonable doubt, Trump may find that he has told one lie that very few of us are willing to ignore.

What Is Donald Trump Hiding? The latest revelations about President Trump’s past tax reports underscore the importance of examining his more recent returns.

President Trump owes the American people a fuller account of his financial dealings, including the release of his recent tax returns, because politicians should keep their promises, because the public deserves to know whether his policies are lining his pockets and because the integrity of our system of government requires everyone, particularly the president, to obey the law.

Mr. Trump promised to release his tax returns before his presidential campaign and in the early stages of that campaign, then reneged, offering a long series of inconsistent excuses for breaking his promise. Now Mr. Trump is resisting the lawful request of the House Ways and Means Committee for the Treasury secretary to release the last six years of his tax returns.

In seeking the president’s returns, the House is clearly acting in the public interest.

First and foremost, the public deserves to know more about Mr. Trump’s finances: from whom he has borrowed, with whom he has done business, to whom he may be beholden. This is relevant information about any president, but it is particularly important in the case of Mr. Trump, because he refused to divest his business holdings following his election, breaking with the practice of his predecessors.

Mr. Trump has provided some information, including in the annual financial disclosures he filed as a candidate and as president. But his tax returns would provide a fuller record, including previous investments and obligations.

A tax return is far from a complete picture of a person’s financial life. For one thing, it is an accounting of income rather than wealth, so it would not establish whether Mr. Trump is a billionaire. But Mr. Trump’s tax returns could provide significant information about matters of greater public import, including his debts and the sources of his income. For example, if Mr. Trump deducted the interest payments on a loan from his taxable income, he would be required to disclose information about the source and amount of that loan. Another example: A partnership that sells real estate, and includes foreign partners, must disclose information about those partners.

If Mr. Trump holds money in foreign tax havens, those investments would be listed, too.

The disclosure of Mr. Trump’s tax returns could also help to verify, or falsify, a range of assertions that Mr. Trump has made about his own life — stories that he used to build support for his candidacy and continues to use to build support for his policies.

One straightforward fact-check: Mr. Trump repeatedly said he would not benefit from the tax cuts passed by Congress in 2017. He said that he would be a “big loser” and that the plan “is going to cost me a fortune.” The claim is absurd on its face. Virtually every major analysis of the tax cut has shown that wealthy people like Mr. Trump are the primary beneficiaries. But despite Mr. Trump’s best efforts, facts remain stubborn things with special power, and the release of his tax returns would allow a precise calculation of just how much money the president put into his own pocket.

Reporting on Mr. Trump’s financial past by Times reporters, including David Barstow, Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner has already undermined the president’s confected image as a hugely successful businessman. In a piece published Tuesday evening, Ms. Craig and Mr. Buettner reported Mr. Trump “appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer” year after year in the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Mr. Trump has long said he suffered setbacks during the recession in the early 1990s, and then bounced back to rebuild his fortunes. But tax records and other sources show Mr. Trump lost big during the boom years of the late 1980s.

Far less is known about Mr. Trump’s more recent financial dealings. His federal disclosures provide estimates of revenue rather than profits: In 2017, for example, Mr. Trump reported that his Irish golf business had revenues of $14 million, while a separate report to Irish regulators said the business lost about $2 million. For most of Mr. Trump’s ventures, there is no public account of the bottom line.

The tax returns could also be used to verify the accuracy of the financial disclosures, or at least to check whether Mr. Trump’s returns are consistent with those disclosures.

Mr. Trump, for example, omitted from his 2017 disclosure his obligation to repay Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment Mr. Cohen made on his behalf to the pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels. That was before The Wall Street Journal first reported the debt. The following year, Mr. Trump reported on his disclosure that he had repaid Mr. Cohen.

And the returns could shed light on some mysteries. In the decade before he became president, Mr. Trump went on a $400 million shopping spree, paying cash for real estate around the world — a binge first reported by The Washington Post. It was a marked break from Mr. Trump’s longstanding habit of using other people’s money, and it remains unclear where Mr. Trump got the money, and why he decided to spend it.

The returns also could help to clarify whether Mr. Trump continues to cheat on his taxes. The Times has previously reported that Mr. Trump engaged in fraud to avoid taxation during the 1990s. In requesting Mr. Trump’s tax returns, the House has said it seeks to evaluate whether he is being properly audited by the Internal Revenue Service, which audits all presidential returns as a matter of policy. It has asked for the last six years of the president’s personal tax returns — the period likely still subject to an I.R.S. audit — and tax information for eight of Mr. Trump’s businesses.

The congressional effort to obtain Mr. Trump’s returns is a second-best solution. The House committee would be able to evaluate the information, but not to share the returns with the public. Similarly, a bill passed by the New York State Senate on Wednesday would allow New York to release Mr. Trump’s state tax returns to select congressional committees, but not to the public.

The best answer remains for Mr. Trump to keep his promise and release his returns voluntarily. But unless and until he does so, Congress can and must force the issue.
