Furthering her feud with Donald Trump, liberal firebrand Elizabeth Warren took to the Senate floor on Thursday to chide the Republican nominee for not releasing his tax returns.

Warren mused about what may be buried in the 12,000 pages of tax forms Trump has declined to release. The New York businessman has eschewed the tradition of transparency for presidential nominees to disclose their tax returns, citing an ongoing audit.


"We know he has gotten Russian oligarchs with close ties to Vladimir Putin to fund his businesses. Is he still doing that? We know that he has financial ties to political dynasties in Turkey," Warren said, citing news reports and the scant publicly available information. "We know that he's wrapped up in aggressive pipeline plans in North and East India. The list of countries where Trump has financial conflicts is staggering: South Korea, India, Turkey, Libya, Russia, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates."

Trump and Warren have tussled before, most notably on Twitter where the former star of NBC's The Apprentice is fond of calling the senator "Pocahontas."

Once vetted as a possible running mate for Hillary Clinton, Warren suggested Trump's financial ties may be at ends with his promise to Make America Great Again.

"Would his tax returns show how deeply Donald Trump's personal financial interests run directly counter to the national interests of the United States of America?" Warren asked. "No one knows."
