Top House Republican Presses Donald Trump to Release Tax Returns
"Open up your kimono and show everything," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz.
— -- Donald Trump should release his tax returns and medical records, the GOP chairman of the House Oversight Committee says, making him the latest Republican to publicly pressure the presidential nominee to disclose more information to the public.
"If you're going to run and try to become the president of the United States, you're going to have to open up your kimono and show everything — your tax returns, your medical records," Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told CNN Wednesday afternoon.
He also criticized Hillary Clinton for her ties to the Clinton Foundation while at the State Department and called for the Democratic presidential nominee to be more transparent as well.
Trump and Clinton, compared with previous presidential nominees, have disclosed relatively little about their health.
Chaffetz is the latest Republican to call for Trump to disclose his tax returns, a long-standing tradition for presidential candidates.
Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., and longtime Trump political adviser Roger Stone this week said Trump should release his returns.
The New York developer has said he won't release his returns while he is under audit.
