“And I would say, the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton”, Trump said at the Miami event, and added at the latter event that IS was “hoping” for Clinton – presumably to win the election.

Trump, a NY businessman, and his lawyers have cited an audit by the Internal Revenue Service as a reason he has refused to release his returns.
The fact that he won’t release his taxes has raised questions about the actual size of his fortune and some of his businesses connections.
The Clintons also donated a million dollars to the non-profit foundation that bears their name.
Their tax return showed that they paid $3.24 million in federal income taxes.
It is customary for USA presidential candidates to make their tax returns public, although they are not required by law to do so.
Meanwhile, Trump hasn’t released any returns. That gave them an effective tax rate of 20.3 percent. Obama repeatedly used Romney’s business dealings against him and seized upon the former MA governor’s reluctance to release certain tax records.
Clinton’s tax returns have been made public, in some form, every year since 1977. Over the last decade, the couple has donated 7.5 percent of their income to charity, the campaign said, and paid an effective tax rate of 25.6 percent previous year.
Kaine, the Virginia senator who’s spent much of his life in public service, reported a far lower income than the Clintons. Under that rule, anyone with adjusted gross income over $1 million would have to pay a minimum of 30% of their income in taxes. Tim Kaine and his wife will also release the last 10 years of their returns.
Clinton has tried to paint Trump has an out-of-touch business mogul but her substantial wealth has caused headaches.
Mrs. Clinton has famously described herself as “dead broke” when they left the White House, saying they were in debt.
One of the only times Trump did release his returns was in the early 1980s, according toThe Washington Post, and at that time they revealed he paid absolutely nothing in income taxes.
Democrat Hillary Clinton told an audience in Detroit on Thursday that she’ll “fight to make college tuition-free for the middle class and debt-free for everyone”.
Clinton’s campaign has released tax returns going back to 2007.
“This is personal for me”, she said, explaining that her grandfather worked at a mill in Scranton, Pa. for 50 years: “And because he worked hard, my dad was able to go to college and eventualy start his own business”.

“I may or may not be calling the shots next year”, McConnell said.
