Trump, Clinton accuse each other of falsehoods in tax plans debate
Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump interrupted each other repeatedly on Monday (September 26) in a first presidential debate that could reshape the 2016 U.S. election.
Each accused the other of distortions and falsehoods and urged viewers to check their websites for the facts.
“I have a feeling I’m going to be blamed for everything,” said Clinton, the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major U.S. political party during one tough exchange.
“Why not?” retorted Trump, a real estate tycoon and former reality TV star making his first run at public office.
Clinton criticized Trump for not releasing his tax returns and said that decision raised questions about whether he was as rich and charitable as he has claimed to be. She noted that the few years of returns he had released showed that despite his wealth, he paid no federal income tax.
Clinton criticized Trump for failing to pay some of the business people with whom his company had contracted. She said she had met a lot of people who had been cheated by her opponent.
Trump said such incidents of non-payment had taken place when the work was unsatisfactory.
