Brown refused to release copies of his tax returns twice during his political career
California Gov. Jerry Brown blocked fellow state Democrats from forcing President Donald Trump and other presidential candidates to disclose their personal income tax returns, arguing that such a requirement goes too far and could lead to increased demands for other personal records.
Brown's veto is a rare rejection of his state's Democratic legislators' efforts to distance themselves from Trump. The measure would have required all presidential candidates to disclose five years of income tax information to qualify for the California ballot.
State Democrats passed the bill this summer in response to Trump's refusal to release his returns during the last election. The bill is just one of several, including the state's recent sanctuary state law, which Democrats passed to publicly confront Trump.

Clinton/sanders did not Release full tax returns Only what is required by law to run for office and that is a one page snap shot. Sanders earned up to a million with his investments, properties, ss, government paycheck and royalties from books.
12:40
There is no law requiring a candidate running for office to release his/her tax returns
12:40 and according to GOP's tax plan, he should have to pay less taxes.
Another group of really stupid people.
The Constitution already tells us what is required of a citizen to be President.
They don't get to add some stuff because their mom brought them here from Guatemala and they have some new ideas about our political structure.
Hang them too.
Slowly. While someone reads the Constitution to them.
Keep cheering.
It's nobody's business! Would you release yours?
