Clinton releases 2015 tax return, calls on Trump to release his

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Friday released her 2015 tax return and disclosed a detailed list of speaking fees totally nearly $23 million that she and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, together earned in 2013.

The release comes as Clinton seeks to apply pressure to Republican opponent Donald Trump, who has not released his tax returns, and sow doubt about the businessman’s honesty and civic participation. The tax issue allows Clinton to cast herself as forthcoming and honest, two attributes that many voters say they find lacking in her.

The Clinton campaign also released 10 years’ worth of returns for her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, and his wife, Anne Holton.

“Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine continue to set the standard for financial transparency as she releases her 2015 personal tax return,” campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri said Friday.
