Last week, news broke that late-night television host John Oliver used a tax loophole to buy a New York City mansion. But, upon searching the websites of CNN, NBC News and ABC News, they did not mention this controversy.

John Oliver, a vocal anti-Trump liberal, once used a tax loophole to set up trusts to hide his purchase of a $9.5 million Manhattan mansion. He benefitted from the tax break, as well.

But who set up the loophole, or used it? President Donald Trump, who is the focus of much of John Oliver’s rants and ire.
