Hillary Does Not Want to Release Tax Returns

In an article from ABC News, it was suggested that there is a high amount of pressure for Hillary Clinton to release her tax returns, especially since she loaned her campaign $5 million. Clinton has kept most of this information to herself, delaying the release of her tax returns when mostly all of the other candidates have already released theirs. The article explains that during this time where people are struggling in the decision between the two democratic candidates, this information would be helpful. Sheila Krumholz, from the Center for Responsive Politics, says “[Clinton] hasn’t exactly made it clear as to what process is making it so cumbersome to just release them.” Hillary originally stated that she would release her tax returns upon becoming the Democratic nominee, but now says that she plans to release them around April 15. This draws speculation as to whether she has something to hide or if she is just more concerned about other things. Will Hillary’s delaying to provide this disclosure lead some to believe that Hillary Clinton has something to hide about her finances or is this not an important issue. To me it doesn’t seem like a big deal…but is it? What do you think?
