Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz announced Thursday night that they will release the last two years of their tax returns on Friday, after repeated calls from 2012 GOP candidate Mitt Romney.
Rubio and Cruz said those returns would be released after rival Donald Trump said that he would eventually, but that it would take a little longer because he’s being audited for the 12th consecutive year.
“Either tomorrow or Saturday, in fact, is our plan to release them,” Rubio told radio host Hugh Hewitt. “There’s really nothing that interesting in them, so I have no problem. And luckily I’m not being audited this year, or last year for that matter.”
Cruz told Hewitt, a co-moderator during the CNN-hosted debate, that he will release two more years of returns on Friday.
“I’ve released five years of my tax returns already. We will have two more years available tomorrow.”
The pair of freshman senators both went after Trump for being audited, and openly wondering whether there could be something more in the returns. Trump said the audit was routine, in part because his company was so large.
