Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., denies having any intention of running for the White House in 2020, but her actions fuel speculation she harbors presidential ambitions.
The Massachusetts Democrat, who was rumored to be on Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential shortlist in 2016, on Wednesday published 10 years of her tax returns online.
“Every year she’s been in public service, Sen. Warren has been required to disclose her income and assets annually,” the website for her 2018 re-election bid for the U.S. Senate announced Wednesday. “She’s gone a step further and released her tax returns covering her time in public service to-date.”
Warren’s disclosure follows her introduction of legislation Wednesday that aims to make the country’s largest companies more accountable to their employees and local communities, not just shareholders. She is also pushing for reforms that would compel the Internal Revenue Service to publish the previous eight years worth of tax returns of candidates seeking to become president, vice president, or a member of Congress.
President Trump did not make his tax returns public during the 2016 campaign, claiming a routine audit precluded him from doing so.
