Top House Republican Presses Trump to Release Tax Returns

Donald Trump should release his tax returns and medical records, the GOP leader 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.

The House Oversight Committee chairman 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.

Both Trump and Clinton, compared to nominees in previous cycles, have disclosed relatively little about their health.

Chaffetz is the latest Republican to call for Trump to disclose his tax returns, a longstanding 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.
