WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's business losses in 1995 were so large that they could have allowed him to avoid paying federal income taxes for as many as 18 years, according to records obtained by The New York Times.
Trump "apparently got to avoid paying taxes for nearly two decades—while tens of millions of working families paid theirs." pic.twitter.com/g62jB9fKr5
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 2, 2016
In a story published online late Saturday, the Times said it anonymously received the first pages of Trump's 1995 state income tax filings in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The filings show a net loss of $915,729,293 in federal taxable income for the year.
That Trump was losing money during the early to mid-1990s — a period marked by bankruptcies and poor business decisions — was already well established. But the records obtained by the Times show losses of such a magnitude that they potentially allowed Trump to avoid paying taxes for years, possibly until the end of the last decade.
"I know our complex tax laws better than anyone who has ever run for president and am the only one who can fix them," Trump tweeted on Sunday.
His campaign accused the newspaper of working to benefit the Republican nominee's presidential rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton, and said that Trump had paid "hundreds of millions" of dollars in other kinds of taxes over the years.
Trump's allies defended him during appearances on the Sunday news shows.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Trump "had some failures and then he built an empire" and called the businessman "a genius at how to take advantage of legal remedies that can help your company survive and grow."

"Don't you think a man who has this kind of economic genius is a lot better for the United States than a woman, and the only thing she's ever produced is a lot of work for the FBI checking out her emails," Giuliani told ABC's "This Week."
In a separate interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Giuliani noted that "poor" people take advantage of similar "loopholes," referring to the millions of Americans who aren't required to pay federal income taxes each year because their incomes are too low.
Clinton's primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, who made wealth inequality a top campaign issue, said that assuming Trump's tax strategy was legal, "what it tells you is you have a corrupt tax system which says to ordinary people, you're supposed to pay your taxes. But if you're a billionaire, there are all kinds of loopholes that you can utilize that enable you ... not to pay anything in taxes."
Clinton's campaign manager, Robby Mook, used the Times story to needle Trump about not releasing his tax returns and contending during his first debate with Clinton that not paying federal income taxes would show he was "smart."
Mook said in a statement Saturday that Trump apparently avoided paying taxes for two decades "while tens of millions of working families paid theirs. He calls that 'smart.'" Mook added: "Now that the gig is up, why doesn't he go ahead and release his returns to show us all how 'smart' he really is?"
Since 1976, every major party presidential nominee has released tax returns. Clinton has publicly released nearly 40 years' worth, and Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, has released 10 years of his tax returns.
But after initially saying that he would make his returns public during the course of his campaign, Trump switched course, citing what he said were years of ongoing IRS audits and the advice of his attorneys to keep them private as those audits proceed.
Former IRS officials have expressed skepticism that anyone would be audited so frequently. And IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, when was asked at a House committee hearing on Sept. 21 whether people under IRS audit are free to release their returns or IRS letters informing them they are being audited, said they are.
In its story, the Times said the three pages of documents were mailed last month to a Times reporter who had written about Trump's finances. A postmark indicated they had been sent from New York City and the return address claimed the envelope had been sent from Trump Tower, the newspaper said.

Trump's campaign did not directly address the authenticity of the excerpts from Trump's tax filings. Former Trump accountant Jack Mitnick, whose name appears as Trump's tax preparer of the filings, confirmed their authenticity, the newspaper reported.
On the campaign trail, Trump continued to veer from scripted economic arguments to personal attacks on Clinton.
At a rally Saturday night, Trump questioned Clinton's loyalty to her husband, adding an explosive personal charge against his Democratic opponent to a turbulent week when he repeatedly veered off script.
"Hillary Clinton's only loyalty is to her financial contributors and to herself," Trump told thousands gathered in Manheim, Pennsylvania. "I don't think she's even loyal to Bill if you want to know the truth ... Why should she be, right? Why should she be?"
Trump also seized on a leaked recording from a Clinton fundraiser in February, where she expressed empathy for young voters who were siding with her primary opponent, Bernie Sanders, saying that for people who don't see any economic opportunities, the idea that "you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing." The hacked recording was published Tuesday by the Washington Free Beacon
Clinton called them "children of the Great Recession" and added: "And they are living in their parents' basement. They feel that they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves."
Trump sought to turn her words into a new pitch for Sanders supporters, although Sanders himself has endorsed Clinton and denounced Trump. The businessman contended Saturday that the audio shows Clinton "demeaning and mocking Bernie Sanders and all of his supporters" and added: "To sum up, Hillary Clinton thinks Bernie Sanders supporters are hopeless and ignorant basement dwellers."

(WFMZ) READING, Pa.- Albright College in Reading has suspended two students that the school said were most directly involved in the creation and distribution of a video that has sparked racial outrage.
The suspensions are pending further investigation and adjudication through the college's community standards process, Lex O. McMillan III, Albright's president, said Friday, adding that the students have been advised to leave campus immediately while remaining available for communications with college officials.
A series of videos posted on a social media website earlier this week show a white female Albright student in blackface. At one point, she said to the camera, "Black Lives Matter." Then, she went out into a hallway and began dancing.
The videos have since gone viral, with news organizations around the world reporting on them.
"As we continue to investigate the matter," McMillan said, "we have learned that multiple students of multiple races were involved. We will continue to review the facts of the matter so that the most appropriate sanctions for those who took part can be determined."
McMillan invited the campus community to join him, his cabinet and the student government president in an open forum Friday.
"We hope that by speaking with and listening to each other, we can take the first steps toward learning from this hurtful, offensive act," McMillan said.

Joliet, Illinois is a city located about 40 miles SouthWest of Chicago with a population of about 147,000. The city is popular for its abandoned prison, casino, raceways, and historic sites. But in our opinion, it will very soon be known for its music.
Leading that move is two brothers, C Mo and Lil Matt, who go by Greezy Gang. In the last few weeks they have come to our attention with consistent video releases and their debut mixtape release, "BooPac". From the cover to the sound it seemed to pay a hiphop homage to Boosie Badazz and the late Tupac Shakur. And their sound only amplified that belief.
They first came under our radar with the single music video release from C Mo, "Black Lives Matter." He tackled it solo and showed first hand these two were incredibly talented together or apart. His steady paced lyrics told his view from a stand point with out animosity or hatred. While describing being raised with a history of confusion, and growing into self placement in a world where violence seems to be around every corner. From those in the community to those sworn to protect it. He even ends the whole thing with a very strong statement, "Black Lives Matter....and we don't say that to say, all lives don't matter...we're just saying,...we matter too."
He released it with a powerful visual which included everything from live footage of his performance in midst of a peaceful march, to clips and live audio of the brutality face by those in America daily, and the outrage that comes from people who feel their voices aren't heard.
Prior to that, they seemed to have been the first in a long following of "Letter 2 Boosie" songs and videos. And came back full circle in the last few weeks when they released, "Boosie Juice", a hard hitting well played ode to Boosie's new alcohol brand, Boosie Juice.
And in between....they took no pause in showing that they may be fresh in the game,..but they have come to play as seasoned vets. After releasing a few videos like Can't Forget and Happiness and Peace, they dropped their debut release, BooPac, while promoting the motto "Bringing Real Back". And they are focused in doing so.
Line after line, BooPac was full of fresh and original delivery telling their story growing up in back streets of Joliet that the city hides from its tourists. Speaking on the bonds of blood with "Family Calls" to the backstabbing trust can get you in "Never Wit Us". They even did it correctly with a few songs real street soldiers can ride to with their main one like the Tink sampled, "Treat Me." But one of our personal favorites is "New Generation". Where they go head on with the misguidance and wrongful rebellion of their generation. It had to have gotten 25 repeats before the next song got played. It was very deep, well worded and a respectable play on their love for hiphop. Music with a real message.
They definitely have a story to tell....And the first of many chapters has been released. If you feel everything is starting to sound the same and has no significance beyond the words,...then get your copy of BooPac TODAY...It is available now only at www.hfemovement.com...in the meantime, check out a few of these videos.

Rappers Dark Lo and AR-Ab sat down with VladTV to talk about Lo's Darkaveli double disk filled with 28 tracks, how they banded, what it took for AR to hear him out, and why there isn't any real gang life in Philadelphia, and it's essentially every man for himself.
While violence is something not to be glorified, Dark Lo says that he noticed it was common once he watched Boyz in the Hood as a child. However, it wasn't until he turned 9 when he witnessed one kid get brutally beaten by other boys in the neighborhood. Unlike Chicago and their gang culture, Lo says that gangs are nonexistent, but they do have sections or "blocks" that retaliate against one another. "In Philly it's blocks." Lo said, "In Philly, it's basically every man for theyself, but if you from 23rd street, we'll still kill each other, but you can't come kill us, [we're] 23rd street."
While facing many adversities, Dark Lo ended up in prison, and once he got out, he heard about AR-Ab's buzz and gravitated to his lyrical skills. After they met up, which AR says was typically doing "street s***," he says Lo revealed that he rapped, but AR made sure he approached him with a CD versus a hot 16 on the spot. "He comes and we making a drug deal, and he says 'you know I rap.'" AR says he responded, "'I ain't tryna hear that s***, you don't rap, man.'" He joked, "I'm looking like he had a beard, looking like a gangsta...I said bring some CDs; I don't want to hear you rap."
Fortunately, once AR got the CD, he and his team liked what they heard, and the rest was history. Further into the interview, Dark Lo talks about feeding the streets with Darkaveli and AR-Ab explains why he rather stay cordial with Meek Mill than have each other shoot at one another.

Ask almost anyone in the music industry and they will tell you that Gucci Mane's ear for talent is impeccable. Atlanta is filled with artists that he either discovered or played a part in their development.
One such artist is Young Thug, who at one point was signed to Big Guwop's 1017 Brick Squad imprint.
The two remain close and XXL honored the pair by putting them on the cover of their Fall issue, appropriately titled "The Protégé and the Professor."
For the new issue, the two artists both sat with XXL to talk about their journeys to stardom—including some of the bumps they have hit along the way—their history with each other, thoughts on the current hip-hop landscape and personal focuses for the future. Gucci, who has been somewhat absent from hip-hop for the past three-plus years, due to a federal prison bid, also discusses his life before the jail sentence and what he had to do to change himself and succeed when he got out. Thug, who has found comfort in the world of fashion, also talks about how that fits in his budding career and what it means for himself and hip-hop.
The issue hits newsstands in October.
