Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham says president should release his tax returns after Democrats make formal request
Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday that"everybody" running for president in 2020 should publicly release their tax returns — including President Donald Trump.
"I think you should release your tax returns if you're running for president in 2020," Graham told reporters.A spokesman for the senator confirmed to CNBC that Graham believes Trump should release his tax returns. Neal's request to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig is expected to trigger a protracted battle with the Trump administration, whose officials have also signaled their unwillingness to hand over the president's financial documents.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a Fox News interview Thursday that Trump"doesn't have any intention to release those returns," saying that the president's taxes"continue to be under audit."As a presidential candidate, Trump broke with the tradition widely followed since Richard Nixon by refusing to release his tax returns.
