This comes days after a bombshell report from the New York Times showed the president paid just $750 in federal taxes in 2016 and 2017.

The shockingly small number was possible due to reported financial losses, a damaging blow to the successful business man image he has tried to maintain while in the White House.

Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said they released the candidate’s financial information to be as transparent as possible with the American people.

“This is a historic level of transparency and it will give the American people faith once again that their leaders will look out for them and not their own bottom line,” she said.
