THREAD: Transcript of Trump-Biden exchange on tax returns:

Biden: "I have released all of my tax returns. 22 years. Go look at them. 22 years of my tax returns."

"You have not released a single solitary year of your tax returns. What are you hiding? Why are you unwilling?"
Biden: "The foreign countries are paying you a lot. Russia is paying you a lot. China's paying you a lot. And your hotels and businesses all around the country, all around the world."

And China is building a new road to a new golf course you have overseas. What's going on here?"
Biden: "Release your tax returns or stop talking about corruption."

Trump: "First of all, I called my accountants. Under audit. I'm going to release them as soon as we can. I want to do it. And it'll show how successful, how great this company is."
Trump: "But much more importantly than that, people are saying $750. I asked them a week ago, I said, 'What did I pay?' They said, 'Sir, you prepaid tens of millions of dollars.'

"I prepaid my tax. Over the last number of years, tens of millions of dollars I prepaid."
Trump: "Because at some point, they think it's an estimate. They think I might have to pay tax. So, I already prepaid. Nobody told me that. And it wasn't written."
Trump: "They keep talking about $750, which I think is a filing fee."

"But let me just tell you: I prepaid millions and millions of dollars in taxes, number one."
Trump: "Number two, I don't make money from China. You do."

"I don't make money from Ukraine. You do."

"I don't make money from Russia. You made $3.5 million, Joe."
Trump: "And your save gave you -- they even have a statement that we have to give 10% to the big man. You're the big man, I think. I don't know, maybe you're not.

"But you're the big man, I think."
Trump: "Your son said, 'We have to give 10% to the big man.' Joe, what's that all about? It's terrible."
