Conway: Trump will release tax returns after audit

President Donald Trump will release his tax returns after the IRS completes its audit of him, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway tweeted Monday in an apparent clarification from her earlier statement.

“On taxes, answers (& repeated questions) are same from campaign: POTUS is under audit and will not release until that is completed,” Conway tweeted.


Her tweet stands in contrast to what she said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” when she said that Trump is “not going to release his tax returns.”

"We litigated this all through the election. People didn’t care," Conway said. "They voted for him, and let me make this very clear: Most Americans ... are very focused on what their tax returns will look like while President Trump is in office, not what his look like."

Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns was an issue throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, with Democrats and some Republicans criticizing the president for not sharing them with the public.
