Trump claims that he can’t release his returns because of an IRS audit, even though the IRS said “nothing prevents individuals from sharing their own tax information”, including an audit.

Mike Pence this morning rallied for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a stop at the Springfield Expo Center.
Pressed by host Chuck Todd on whether or not that would happen before election day, Pence replied, “Well, we’ll see”.
Todd did go on to press Pence about Trump’s tax returns, but his basis for the question was an assumption that revealed how low the media had set the bar for Donald Trump.
The foreign policy of US President Barack Obama and his former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has resulted in the wider Middle East literally spinning out of control, Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence alleged on Sunday. “I’ll release mine in the next week”, he told Todd in an excerpt of the interview released Saturday.
But Pence maintained, as Trump has for months, that a federal audit is responsible for delaying the release of the businessman’s documents. “I can assure you and your listeners the Pences have not become more wealthy as a result of 16 years in public service”.
Mike Pence, meanwhile, said Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is the most dishonest presidential candidate since Nixon.
If she makes her medical records public he’d do the same, “100 percent”, Trump said.
Since the 1980s, every GOP presidential nominee has disclosed his tax returns, according to PolitiFact.
“I’m going to make a decision, or somebody will. I’ll release mine in the next week”, the in governor said in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press”.
Clinton has said that while the FBI was investigating her use of a personal email server, more than 30,000 emails that were deemed personal were deleted.

Trump also made conflicting statements earlier on Monday during a press gaggle aboard his plane, on the issue of undocumented immigrants achieving legal status.
