Bernie Sanders explains why he hasn't disclosed his taxes: 'My wife does our tax returns'
On Sunday's State of the Union, Jake Tapper asked Sen. Bernie Sanders why he has released only the summary page of his 2014 tax returns, while presidential rival Hillary Clinton has posted the past eight years of her full returns on her website. "I have to say, I'm kind of surprised you haven't gone further on transparency," Tapper said. He asked Sanders if he would release his full returns before the pivotal New York primary. "To be very honest with you, do you know who does our tax returns?" Sanders replied. "My wife does our tax returns. We've been a little bit busy lately." He added that "there ain't going to be very much exciting in them," and "we will get them out as soon as we can." Peter Weber
