Ann Romney Refuses to Release More Tax Returns

In an interview scheduled to be broadcast Thursday evening on NBC’s “Rock Center,” Ann Romney, the wife of the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, found herself facing some of the same questions that have dogged her husband’s campaign in recent weeks — namely, about the Romney family’s tax returns.

“There’s nothing we’re hiding,” Mrs. Romney told Natalie Morales, a correspondent for the show.

In a video clip released in advance of the show, Ms. Morales broached the subject of the Romneys’ finances and tax returns by acknowledging that it’s “not a question that’s welcome,” before asking, “Why not be transparent?”

“Have you seen how we’re attacked?” Mrs. Romney said, leaning forward in her chair. “Have you seen what’s happened?”
