Mitt Romney Sees Only One Possible Explanation For Why Trump Wont Release His Tax ReturnsCorruption!
No stranger to questions about his taxes and wealth, former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Wednesday criticized Donald Trumps decision to withhold his tax returns from the public, calling the move disqualifying and speculating that Trump is hiding a bombshell.
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, on Tuesday told the Associated Press that he does not plan to release his tax returns as is tradition for candidates for elected office because he is being audited.
Romney responded on Facebook, arguing that making tax returns public provides valuable information to voters. He accused Trump of using the audit as a excuse to avoid further scrutiny and suggested that he may be concealing something that could negatively impact his candidacy, an attack Romney first made earlier this year.

When you run for president you are required to file your financial reports in a OGE Form 278e with the Federal Elections Commission. This form shows Trump owns or has interests in 515 companies. He filed it almost a year ago so anyone has had that length of time to prove Trump is not worth what he says he is. So far no one has. If you would like to try this is the link to the 92 pages of financials.
