Ryan: Trump should release tax returns
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday said that Donald Trump should release his tax information to the public.
{mosads}When asked about releasing his own taxes in 2012, Ryan said that Trump should release his tax documents whenever the right time comes.
“I did release my returns. I’ll defer to Donald Trump as to when he thinks the appropriate time to release his returns. I know he is under audit, and he has an opinion on when to release those and I’ll defer to him on that,” Ryan, the 2012 vice presidential nominee, said during his weekly press briefing.
“I released mine. I think he should release his. I’ll leave it to him when to do it.”
“He’s got a 12,000-page tax return that would create … financial auditors out of every person in the country, asking questions that would detract from [Trump’s] main message,” Trump Jr. said.
