Editors at the New York Times and Washington Post both say they're willing to risk jail time if it meant they could publish Republican nominee Donald Trump's tax returns.

Asked during a forum Sunday at Harvard University if they would publish Trump's tax information, should they get their hands on it, Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet and Post Associate Editor Bob Woodward said they would.

Baquet reasoned that Trump is "a presidential candidate whose whole campaign is built on his success as a businessman and his wealth," and that making that information public would be in voters' best interest, according to CNN.

"Some things you have to do," said Woodward. "Dean is exactly right. This defines Donald Trump."

Trump has insisted that he is currently under a federal audit and that he would release his returns once the audit is complete. But he's indicated that they might be released only after the November election.
