Today, Hillary Clinton released its 2015 tax return for the year. The pressure on Donald Trump to make him do the same is intensified from all sides, including from allies in the Republican Party.

According to the declaration, the Clinton family’s income last year amounted to $ 10,6 million, most of which was received by Bill Clinton as payment for the lectures. $ 3 million was received as fees for books published. The Clintons paid 34,2% of this amount as taxes and donated almost 10% of their total income to charity.

Senator Tim Kane, the democratic candidate for vice president, and his wife Ann Holton also made public their tax returns. According to the documents, last year they jointly earned a little more than $ 313 thousand and paid 25,6% of this amount in the form of various taxes.

Donald Trump repeatedly refused to publicize his tax returns. The publication of this information could shed light on the true dimensions of the state of the Republican presidential candidate. According to his own information, Donald Trump's personal fortune exceeds $ 10 billion. Since the end of the 1970-ies, each candidate for the presidency of the United States has published its tax declarations before election day. Trump became the first challenger to refuse to do so.

Yesterday, Clinton’s campaign headquarters released a new video in which leading Republicans say that Donald Trump should release information about taxes paid to them. Among the characters in the video are Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz, who was Trump's main rival in the Republican primaries.

“We'll only know if he's an honest man or a crook if he gives us his tax returns,” says Mitt Romney, implying that Trump isn't actually that rich, doesn't pay his due taxes, or does not donate money to the needs of veterans or other charitable causes. “Trump doesn’t want to do this because he has something to hide,” echoes Senator Cruz.
