Vance's comments came in response to a new investigation by ProPublica which revealed Trump's businesses effectively gave two different sets of profit numbers to banks and to tax officials — the former set showing high profits to secure good interest rates, the latter showing lower profits to reduce tax liability. Experts have suggested this is a major red flag for financial misconduct.
