Bash: ‘No Evidence’ Trump Being Punished by Voters for Not Releasing Tax Returns

‘He hasn’t been vetted, if you will, the way other politicians have because he’s not a politician’

BASH: "Well, it's really right here in black and white in the press release that went along with these tax returns. And I'll read you part of it. They say -- her communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, says, 'in stark contrast, Donald Trump is hiding behind fake excuses and backtracking on his previous promises to release his tax returns. He has failed to provide the public with the most basic financial information disclosed by every major candidate in the last 40 years.' And then asking, what is he trying to hide? So, you're right, that this is standard operating procedure for the past - and they are right, for the past 40 years, but releasing it now and making such a big to do about it and putting this statement in the press release, there's no hiding why they're doing it. I mean they are - they fundamentally believe that this plays to the voter's questions about, do we really know who this guy is? You know, he hasn't been vetted, if you will, the way other politicians have because he's not a politician. He has been until now a private citizen. And we don't know a lot about his financials because his company is private. So there's no question that is a main reason why they are doing this."
