The only news here is that the more than 20-year-old alleged tax document was illegally obtained, a further demonstration that the New York Times, like establishment media in general, is an extension of the Clinton campaign, the Democratic Party and their global special interests,” the campaign said in a statement.
Trump’s lawyer, Marc E. Kasowitz, emailed the New York Times and declared that the publication of his client’s tax records are illegal because the Donald has not authorized the disclosure of such documents. Kasowitz threatened “prompt initiation of appropriate legal action.”
However, if legal action is taken then Trump would presumably have to admit the returns are authentic. Even if Trump avoided paying taxes legally it would not look good in the public eye especially after Trump has criticized others for not paying taxes in the past.

 "We are very, very committed so that the middle class and workers don't end up paying the tab for a party we didn't get to go to, and the president is committed to that as well," said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Participants in the meeting also voiced their fierce opposition to raising the eligibility age for Medicare and Social Security, he said.
The hour-long meeting included officials from the activist group MoveOn.org, the union AFSCME, the woman's group AAUW and the liberal think-tank Center for American Progress. All were active in Obama's re-election effort, and Obama could call on them for help as he makes his case to the American people for his "balanced" approach to cutting the country's yawning deficit problem.
"We won the election, but we're going into another campaign now," AFSCME President Lee Saunders said after the meeting.
Obama is scheduled to meet with 12 business executives Wednesday and is likely to meet with congressional leaders from both parties Friday to discuss the looming fiscal crisis.
