Actually, I don't think this is that big a deal..Story is slightly misleading...the $40k is the TOTAL amount of his itemized deductions..they are just not specified on his congressional disclosure form..
Say he has a $200k mortgage..not that big in NYC..payments are $1500 month..probably 90% is interest..that's $17k right there..and he easily pays $15k in state and city income taxes, another $3k RE taxes..via his maintenanc payment..that $36k right there..another few thou for charitable,a nd you have it...
Sorry..he's clean on this one..
