New Hillary for America Ad Asks What Trump is Hiding in his Tax Returns, Highlights His Promise to “Absolutely” Release Returns

Hillary for America is today launching a new television ad entitled "Absolutely" that highlights Trump’s promise he would “absolutely” release his tax returns if he ran for office.

The ad features prominent Republicans speculating on Trump’s tax returns – from George Will, who suggests, “perhaps one more reason why we’re not seeing his tax returns is because he is deeply involved in dealing with Russian oligarchs,” to Mitt Romney, who says, “either he’s not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is” or “there’s a bombshell in Donald Trump’s taxes.”  The ad will air on the campaign’s already existing national cable ad buy.
