Lawyers say Donald Trump under 'continuous' IRS audit

APPLETON, Wisconsin (AP) — Tax counsel for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in a letter released Wednesday that the billionaire businessman has been under continuous IRS audit for more than a decade.

In the letter, released by the Trump campaign to demonstrate that the candidate is in fact under audit, Sheri Dillon and William Nelson wrote that Trump's personal federal tax returns "have been under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service since 2002, consistent with the IRS's practice for large and complex businesses."
