Michael Cohen was also suspiciously targeted by the IRS along with other Trump foes

The New York Times revealed this week that at least two of President Donald Trump's foes were suspiciously targeted by the IRS for extensive and "invasive" audits.

"Among tax lawyers, the most invasive type of random audit carried out by the I.R.S. is known, only partly jokingly, as 'an autopsy without the benefit of death,'" said the report.

According to former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, he too was targeted by the IRS for such an audit. Among the 2018 charges that Cohen agreed to plead guilty to was tax fraud, though he maintains that he's never cheated on his taxes.




"In 30 years, I always filed tax returns timely, never requested an extension, never been audited and paid millions in taxes," Cohen tweeted on Thursday.

Don't you think the IRS would look at his taxes??? No, not suspicious at all. It was mandatory.
