DEMOCRATIC WHITE HOUSE candidate Hillary Clinton released her 2015 tax return Friday and criticized her Republican rival Donald Trump for bucking a long-standing tradition by failing to do the same.
Clinton and her husband Bill, the former president, reported $10.6 million in income for 2015.
They paid $3.6 million in federal income tax, according to the document, which was posted on her campaign website.
Over the course of their careers, the Clintons have published all of their tax returns since 1977. Democrats repeatedly point to this as evidence of transparency on the part of the power couple.
Clinton’s running mate Tim Kaine also released his returns for the past 10 years on Friday.
“Donald Trump is hiding behind fake excuses and backtracking on his previous promises to release his tax returns,” Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri said.
What is he trying to hide?
Trump has so far declined to release his, arguing that his tax returns for the past several years are being audited.
The real estate mogul’s campaign said that Clinton’s move to release her tax returns “is nothing more than an attempt at distraction and misdirection.”

Trump senior communications advisor Jason Miller said in a statement that Americans would rather see deleted emails from Clinton’s private server, Clinton Foundation records and transcripts of speeches she gave to Wall Street business people.
“We want to see the records the night of Benghazi that explain why Secretary Clinton didn’t send in reinforcements as soon as the attack had begun,” he said of the 2012 assault on the US consulate in Libya that killed four Americans, including the ambassador.
Democrats hint that by not releasing his tax returns, Trump may be trying to hide that he pays little to no tax, makes less money than he claims or gives a negligible amount to charity.
Trump, 70, presented the Federal Election Commission with a mandatory personal financial disclosure form in May and says this is enough.

That document gave only an estimate of Trump’s assets, liabilities and income.
Trump has said he is worth more than $10 billion, but no one has been able to confirm this independently. Forbes magazine estimates Trump is worth less than half that – around $4.5 billion.
The New York Times reported that Trump had probably benefited from tax breaks available to real estate developers in past years, as in 1978 and 1979, when he paid no federal income tax at all, according to documents he made public in 1981 when applying for a casino license in New Jersey.
Media under fire
The Clintons’ main sources of income were Bill Clinton’s paid speeches, to the tune of $5.2 million, and a payment to Hillary Clinton from the publisher of her last book, Simon & Schuster, for $3 million.
Hillary Clinton, 68, gave dozens of paid speeches in 2013, 2014 and 2015 but gave up on that before launching her White House run in April 2015.
The Clintons also donated $1 million to the non-profit foundation that bears their name.
Republican and Democratic candidates in the last nine presidential elections – since Ronald Reagan in 1980 – have released tax returns at least for the previous year, according to PolitiFact.
Most released their returns for several years, such as Bob Dole in 1996. He did so for the previous 29 years, according to The Washington Post.
In 2012, Mitt Romney released two years’ worth of tax returns.
Trump turned a deaf ear to calls from his critics for his tax returns at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, a key swing state where he is lagging behind Clinton in the polls.
His sinking poll numbers are worrying some Republicans, but party boss Reince Priebus weighed in Friday to show his support. He said:
Don’t believe the garbage you read – Donald Trump, the Republican Party, all of you, we are going to put him in the White House and save this country together
Trump - launching a broadside at Clinton over her husband’s signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1993, whichTrump says cost American jobs – also took aim at one of his favorite targets: the media.
Incredulous that the media did not see sarcasm in his repeated statements about President Barack Obama and Clinton being the “founders” of the Islamic State group, Trump earned cheers when he said journalists “are the lowest form of life.”
“They are the lowest form of humanity. Not all of them. They have about 25 percent that are pretty good, actually,” he added.
There’s only one reason he’s not publishing them – he’s not worth what he says he is, and does not generate the income he’d like people to believe. All bluster, with this one. Facade is starting to crack…

Trump: “THAT’S IT! I almost forgot about that one”.
Tony it proves that although she is rich, privileged & “purchased” by multinationals at least she is tax compliant. Trump on the other hand could be up to all sorts of tax avoidance, evasion or maybe the “successful job creator” that Donald claims to be could all be a sham
Well done Hilary. Can we now see the emails, after all even your aide in one email claimed you get confused easily. Then your health records. Tax returns really are irrelevant. They are ways of hiding money as we all see with offshore accounts. Clinton cash …….. to say nothing of the in-laws the Mezvinsky’s, the family is no stranger to scandal.
Mezvinsky has refused to apologize to investors yesterday – despite losing nearly $25 million of their money in a gamble on the Greek economy
Those investors include wealthy Clinton family supporters, some of whom have contributed campaign money to either Bill or Hillary
Mezvinsky persuaded clients to pour cash into the struggling European country in the hope it would bounce back and deliver massive profits
When Daily Mail Online asked Mezvinsky – outside his $10 million Manhattan apartment – he refused to discuss the Greek tragedy
Marc’s father Edward Mezvinsky, pleaded guilty to 31 charges of felony fraud in 2001 and spent five years in federal prison
He admitted scamming his friends and family out of $10 million in a Ponzi scheme.
Chelsea Clinton’s hedge fund boss husband has refused to apologize to investors – despite losing nearly $25 million in a calamitous gamble on the Greek economy.
A few million missing here a few million missing there . That’s chickenfeed.
$6.5 Trillion Stolen & You Didn’t Hear About It
August 11, 2016 Christopher Kemmett
A new United States Department of Defense (DOD) Inspector General’s report has revealed that officials at the country’s defense headquarters cannot account for a whopping $6.5 trillion allocated by Congress to protect the country.
The United States defense spending has been rising over the years. In 2015, the country is said to have spent about $601 billion on defense, which is more than the next 7 highest spending countries combined.
According to the report published on July 26th 2016, officials at the Pentagon and the DOD failed to properly account for the transactions and data on monies allocated to the agency as part of the country’s defense budget over several years. https://therealstrategy.com/6-5-trillion-stolen-didnt-hear/#.V60617h866k.facebook
@Pat again with the websites that are conspiracy theorist websites?
“95% of terrorist plots are planned by the FBI”
Jesus Christ do you actually read and believe this stuff?
At least Frank was entertaining with his numbers, you sir are just deranged
Google : “6.5 Trillion missing” Over 20 entries. Take your pick. MSM is obviously not going to print this highly embarrassing story , so we must rely on other outlets.
@ Stephen Coveney : It’s very childish, to put it mildly to say somebody is deranged, because they are not of your opinion. That is more befitting of a six year old.
The real reason why Trump will do anything to avoid releasing his tax returns is probably that he has so much to hide.
Not least the fact that he is a big-time loser, nowhere near as rich as he claims. To have that revealed would be unbearable for such a narcissist.
Since American banks are extremely wary of him, given his track record as a serial bankruptcy artist, he might also be very unwilling to have light thrown on the money he has borrowed from Russian oligarchs close to one of America’s deadliest enemies, the Russian dictator Vladimir Putler.
As the Economist writer and Russia expert George Lucas has explained, Putler and his people see Trump as, to use Lenin’s phrase, a “useful fool”. If Americans stopped to think about it, the description they would come up with is “danger to national security” and “potential traitor”. Certainly not someone you would want near the nuclear button or privy to vital information on national security.
Some people are saying, that trump had donated to a pedophile support group and that’s why he won’t release his tax records that’s what people are saying
Jynx, he has been continually audited since 2002. The years 2002-2008 are completed so can be released. Nixon released his while under audit nd there can be no negative effect on th let audit. Unless Donnie is trickier than Dicky he’d want to do something fast.
Donnie is private sector , Clinton is paid by the taxpayer .. why has Hilary become so rich on taxpayers money .. oh I know , generous donations from corporations
Trump releases his returns at the end of the year like he always does , this is a poker game Dave , trump will use his aces on Hilary’s past ,then he will release his squeaky clean tax returns . Hilary is crooked and there’s a lot more to reveal , keep them guessing ..lol
Trump sued maher for 5 million , maher and trump share the same views on Muslim immigration , but it’s more personal with maher . Trump took a few quid off him , maher is sickened and uses idiots like u for his jokes
Interesting note about the Clintons tax returns this year, $1,042,000 given to charities, – $1,000,000 of that given to their own Clinton foundation charity, Just $42,000 given to other charities, or .042%.
Makes ye wonder, doesnt it?
What about donating all your charity monies to your own charities?? do ye think anybody likes that Dave??
As Tyler Durden notes over at Zerohedge, this is pretty darned incestuous. “Taking a deduction for contributing to the employer of your daughter and expense payer of your husband,” Durden notes, “is awesome.”
And if it turns out that nothing is amiss at the Clinton Foundation? Surely they set up a charity because their wasn’t another one out there doing what they saw needed to be done so they set up their own and donate to it
@Mother
Bill Gates gave 1.5 billion to his own charity in 2014? I think what people are red thumbing you for is that you are trying to make it out to be a shady conspiracy and the fact is most people who have a charity would contribute all they can to that charity alone.
For instance what is the name f trump’s charity and how much does he contribute towards it?
Denis o brein paid bill Clinton 400K for 2 speeches in Jamaica , 4 weeks later Hilary gives o brein a lucrative phone contract in Haiti . Watch here https://youtu.be/R215CyUd7J8
Bill Gates is self made billionaire who is wealthy thru hard work , great ideas and massive sales . Hilary Clinton is a public servant who uses her status for personal gain
Jack, Trump also uses his status for personal gain. Even add to that that he does it at the expense of those less well of than him and bragging about it.
30,000 emails were deleted by Clinton. She broke the law, she’s a criminal candidate but the stories keep coming about Trump. I can’t believe people are actually buying this
I deleted about 5,000 emails from my junk email box. Many of them were from from prince’s, former finance ministers departments of justices all from different countries and some long lost relations. All of which want to give me millions.
Isn’t it strange that Condelisa Rice and also Colin Powell used a private server for emails while in office and also deleted their emails once out of office, yet no one questions this?
Are they also criminals?
Or is it because they worked for Republican administrations that the GOP don’t mention this?
@Chlorine
Exactly Danny. All former secretaries of state done the same. The fault was with the state department enforcing a secure policy. Though she must take some blame if the policy was in place and she ignored because of past secretary behaviour.
That’s not his boss. Do you understand what Head of the FBI means? If he feels there’s need for criminal action he passes it to her. He didn’t therefore he didn’t pass it to her.
Loretta Lynch is attorney general , she can control head of FBI from behind closed doors . If Clinton becomes president , James comey will get a nice promotion .. watch this space
Saudi Arabia funded and planned 9/11… but yet bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraq .. Hilary is a puppet to these same bankers and elites that controlled bush and Obama
Jack, I believe the answer you were looking for is that neither execution nor shock therapy are acceptable. Pity you didn’t say that while you had the chance.
ISIS will become stronger under Clinton , more terror attacks will be on European soil under Clinton . Saudi Arabia funds global terror and Hilary Clinton
You’ve just proven that you couldn’t give a damn about the rights of homosexuals so stop using their treatment in a different country against Hillary when Trump’s running mate wants to torture them in America
Saudi Arabia funds global terror , they were behind 9/11 , they are purposely on a mission to spread wahabbism across the globe , they will be behind the upcoming mass genocide of shia Muslim’s . Hilary is been funded by terrorists
Jack, your refusal to denounce the plans of the side you support for the same reasons you denounce Hillary shows you for the troll you are. Trump gleefully profited from 9/11 and lied repeatedly about the day ever since
Do you also believe that Trump should release his health records? After all, he’s a good few years older than Hillary Clinton and some of his irrational behaviour in recent times hint at one of the symptoms of syphilis.
Hillary is in obvious bad health. Coughing during speeches, needs people to help her up the stairs, weird seizures when asked questions. etc add to that she’s a psychopath with an undying love for power and money and you’ve got yourself the most unfit and most corrupt presidential candidate in the history of American politics. All this over the top anti-Trump crap is bizarre when you consider Hillary’s record. The media is obviously not fair and impartial, they are completely biased and are pushing Hillary as the candidate. Like Trump says, the game is rigged. Anyone who pays any kind of attention to US politics should reserve their hatred for Hillary. All Trump has done is speak, Hillary has destroyed countries and lives .
It’s also believed by well placed sources that Trump has the early stages Alzheimers. Possibly affecting the frontal lobe. Which would account for the irrational and strange behaviors.
Dave did you miss the email leaks that proved categorically the Democrat primary process was rigged in favour of Clinton? No reason to believe the General Election is any different.
Sam, show me evidence that any of what was suggested in those emails actually happened. There was discussion about rigging it yes. But what did they actually do? You’re right to GE is rigged, Republicans have gerrymandered districts to reduce the influence of black voters, they’ve targeted black voters by selecting forms of ID they are less likely to have as necessary to vote with “surgical precision”, a criminal after serving their full sentence can never vote again in some states. You’re right the Republicans have rigged it.
Dave the emails for one proved that the supposedly fair and objective media is working actively to elected Clinton. They have corrupted the democratic system and the free press.
Jynx> I agree that it looks like they are hiding some health issues she has. Calling her a phycopath in the other hand is just ridiculous. Much more signs of mental instability from Trump and he certainly a narcissist. Never forget Regan was sick during his first term and then full blown by his second term. The president doesn’t really control the country and is a figure head with Trump being the worst for that given how many nations and individuals he insults.
I read a certified copy of them yesterday, apart from taking Coumadin as a prophylactic anti-coag and a thyroxine derivative for hypothyroidism, she’s on no other meds, her BP is a little low but within norm limits given her age and the above mentioned meds. She’s had a complete coronary work up and all looks good. I haven’t seen Donald’s yet so can’t interpret his
Eh, the video is of here saying nothing while a protest group are ejected from a rally. That’s why the secret service come on stage. The photo is her going up icy steps 7-8 months ago.
Journal. Why don’t you tell us a bit more about Hillary Clinton allowing the father of a deadly terrorist to appear in the VIP section of the campaign rally? The man who also supports taliban.
The pro Hillary propaganda all around the West is just astonishing. Pravda had more credibility than your main stream media. I’m sure Kim Jong Un is green with envy.
Oh that’s right, Mark Foley, resigned in 2006 for sending sexually explicit messages to teenage boys seeking employment from him. Criminal proceedings against him were halted because he and the party refused to hand over to key information. But, he did admit to it. Trump has been close friends with him for 30 years.
True, the father of the man, who killed 49 LGBT people at a club in Orlando, appeared directly behind Hillary at one of her rallies. There’s no way he could have been so close to her without being invited.
Imagine the media uproar if this were to happen at one of Trump’s rallies?
The media give Hilary a free pass and airbrush over her mistakes every time.
Dave O Keeffe 11 minutes ago #
100% without a doubt they ARE invited! What do you think it is? It is a VIP section! The only way to get in is to be personally invited. How naive are you?
You don’t get paid that much for just talking to people, just check out who she gave speeches for and what miraculous contracts they got soon after. This is the most obvious staged election ever. She will win it no matter if she doesnt get a single vote. And then the invasion of Iran will be soon after.
so are you saying the public votes will be binned and they will make up their own results. Or do you mean staged in who the nominees are? How could you possibly know?
That’s not bad for someone who is paid $250,000 per speech and demands to be flown around the world in a private jet… Nice money for someone who talks a lot of sh|t
Bill is a serial sex offender , Hilary has openly threatened these women quoting “she would destroy their lives “. So much for women’s rights ..lol . All the victims were given a settlement
I read a certified copy of them yesterday, apart from taking Coumadin as a prophylactic anti-coag and a thyroxine derivative for hypothyroidism, she’s on no other meds, her BP is a little low but within norm limits given her age and the above mentioned meds. She’s had a complete coronary work up and all looks good. I haven’t seen Donald’s yet so can’t interpret his
I feel Trump’s policies are being ignored. His childcare policy will not help the poor as it’s a tax credit. His “death tax” policy only applies to those with an estate of $5million if single and $11million if there’s a surviving spouse, so it only effects the rich. The tax bands will squeeze as many low and middle earners as it will help because when you get rid if a tax band some pay more and some pay less, but rest assured the wealthy will be taken care of. The wall would cost billions and need constant monitoring and maintenance. Banning Muslims from entering the country can’t be done as it’s clearly discriminatory.
L Ron Hubbard said once if you want to make money then set up a religion, he set up the Scientology ones? He also was the first person to see a GREY a full year before Roswell after trying black magic under the guidance of Aleister Cowley, so what does this tell you?
Money and power are one and the crazies seem to have both because people will follow any mad sh…e once it is new first and then becomes popular like in first woman president or one that is not of the same cloth as the others. New and crazy?
The US Commerce Secretary says Ireland runs a 'tax scam'. Does he have a point?
