Sen. Lindsey Graham wants all future presidential candidates to be required by law to release their tax returns – and that would include President Donald Trump if he decides to seek a second term.
"I think that prospectively what I'll do is, any candidate running in 2020 needs to release their tax returns.... You just make it a law," Graham, a South Carolina Republican, told reporters, Politico reported.
Politico added Congressional Democrats have been seeking ways to force Trump to release his tax returns, which he has steadfastly refused to do despite the fact most presidents have for years.
The New York Times reported last year Trump listed a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns which allowed him avoid paying personal federal income taxes for up to 18 years.
