Clinton applauds Trump VP’s tax returns disclosure

Hillary Clinton’s campaign responded to Gov. Mike Pence’s releasing his tax returns Friday evening with more praise of the rival than rebuke.

“We’re pleased to see that one member of the Trump ticket has decided to meet the long-held threshold for disclosure in a modern day presidential campaign,” Christina Reynolds, Hillary for America’s deputy communications director, said in a statement. “Trump has continued to hide behind fake excuses to avoid coming clean with the American people, thumbing his nose at a basic level of transparency practiced by every major party nominee since 1976.”
