Weld seeks presidential candidate tax return mandate
BOSTON — Republican 2020 White House hopeful Bill Weld said if elected he would pursue a federal law to require that all presidential candidates disclose their past five years of tax returns and make public tax filings every year the president is in office.
During a speech Tuesday night before the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Boston, the former Massachusetts governor and federal prosecutor accused President Donald Trump of lying and misleading the American people.
“We are living under a President who has hidden from the people not only his questionable business dealings of the past but the degree to which he and his family are profiting off of his election to the highest office in the land right now,” Weld said in prepared remarks.
“He lied directly to the people when he said he had no business dealings with Russia and continues to lie and mislead today.”
