I’ll only lose Pennsylvania “if cheating goes on” Clinton uses Trump-style tweet to knock him on tax returns It might be the end of Trump, but real story of campaign was always Sanders MORE says only voter fraud can prevent him from winning the swing state of Pennsylvania this November.
Hillary Clinton’s spokeswoman, Jennifer Palmieri, said in a statement the release sets a “stark contrast” with Trump, whom she accused of “hiding behind fake excuses”.
Hillary and Bill Clinton earned $10.6 million a year ago, according to a tax filing released by her campaign Friday that sought to pressure presidential rival Donald Trump to disclose his tax returns. “What is he trying to hide?”
Presidential candidates typically release their tax returns to the media to show their effective tax rate, charitable donations and other financial details.
Trump is not required as a candidate to reveal his taxes, but he has submitted his personal financial disclosure form outlining his business interests, which he is obligated to file.
Trump said voters could not afford to elect Clinton due to her similarities with President Obama.
More than half their income came from speeches; Hillary Clinton also earned US$3 million from Hard Choices, her memoir of her years as secretary of state. The Clintons made about 90 times more, reporting almost $28 million for the same year.
They paid about $10 million in taxes with a tax rate of 36 percent.
Clinton’s campaign has released tax returns going back to 2007.
“Hillary Clinton has turned over the only records nobody wants to see from her – the American public wants to see the 33,000 emails she deleted to obstruct an FBI investigation”, said Trump spokesman Jason Miller. They gave more than $1,042,000 to charity, with $1 million going to the Clinton family foundation.
Along with an entitled pension of $200,000 a year as former U.S. President, Bill’s independent consultant business brought in a whopping $1.7 million.
As for Trump, his returns showing vast wealth wouldn’t be a political problem.
Instead the returns would be an issue if he wasn’t as wealthy and successful of a businessman as he’s claimed.
It’s probably not helped by the fact that The Donald has dragged his feet on releasing his tax returns and now doesn’t plan to do so until after the election.
Since then, the campaign doubled down on that position, saying in late July that Trump wouldn’t release his returns until after Election Day.
Clinton surrogate, Billionaire Warren Buffett, challenged Trump to a tax return show-and-tell at a campaign stop earlier this month.
‘Now, I’ve got news for him – I’m under audit too!’ Buffett told a crowd gathered to see Clinton in Omaha, Nebraska, his home.

“We want to see the records the night of Benghazi that explain why Secretary Clinton didn’t send in reinforcements as soon as the attack had begun”, he said of the 2012 assault on the USA consulate in Libya that killed four Americans, including the ambassador.
