Donald Trump admitted Sunday that he took advantage of the nation's tax laws to avoid paying taxes for as long as 18 years — "and so do all of her donors," referring to Hillary Clinton.
"Of course I do," Trump said when he was asked whether he took advantage of the tax code in claiming a nearly $1 billion loss in 1995. "And so do all of her donors.
"I know many of her donors. They take massive write offs.
"A lot of my write-off was depreciation — and she always allowed this," Trump said. "The people that give her all this money won it.
"Hillary Clinton has friends that want the provisions. That's very important to Wall Street people, and they want the carried-interest provision — and it's interesting why she is leaving carried interest.
"I pay tremendous numbers of taxes and I used it and so did Warren Buffett and George Soros and the other people that Hillary is getting money from."
