Pelosi’s Chief of Staff: Speaker Will Release Tax Returns ‘If and When She Runs for President’

By Emily Ward | February 22, 2019 | 11:55 AM EST

(CNSNews.com) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “will gladly release her tax returns if and when she runs for president,” said her Chief of Staff Drew Hammill, apparently indicating that, in Pelosi’s current position as speaker, she will not release her tax returns.

When CNSNews.com repeatedly followed-up and asked Hammill to directly confirm that Pelosi, as speaker, would not release her tax returns, Hammill did not respond.

Pelosi, who was born on March 26, 1940, will turn 79 next month--and has not announced that she is running for president in 2020.

CNSNews.com has been trying for two weeks by email and telephone to get a direct answer from Speaker Pelosi on this tax-return question because she has co-sponsored legislation (H.R. 1) that would require the president and vice president to release their tax returns. Under 3 U.S. Code 19 (enacted under Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution), the Speaker of the House is third in line to the presidency.

Specifically, CNSNews.com asked Speaker Pelosi's Press Spokesperson Taylor Griffin and Communications Director Ashley Etienne these questions:

A Pelosi tax return would be as accurate as a Democrat vote count....

Trump should offer to release his tax returns if and when he runs for Speaker of the House.

I’d guess all the bad stuff is on hubby Paul’s return and they file separate. Just a guess.

All seriousness aside, we should feel nothing but
pity for Nanny P’s tax accountant.
D-rats must be the most ignorant walking the planet
in the mathematics used in the USA. Unable to add,
subtract, multiply. They have only mastered the art
of division.

Democrats are going to force everyone to release their tax returns and it's going to bite them in the ass when the blowback takes out a bunch of crooked Democrat tax cheaters while President Trump comes out clean as a whistle.

Just like #MeToo.

I demand she set an example

That is to say, when Hell freezes over.

So Sorry, Nancy. All the cold air is in Minnesota.

Blizzard over the weekend, 50 mph winds, snow, and ice.

But will the media widely report Democrat tax issues?

For example, I recall hearing that the Clintons made a $1 million charitable donation to their own charity.

While it may be perfectly legal, it stinks to think the Clintons got a huge tax break for giving money to a charity which they control.

And what about Al Sharpton and his tax problems? The media have been silent about him.

i also believe that i read that they donated $200K to some Clinton supporter’s charity which they of course claimed as a deduction, and then he reciprocated by donating $500K to the Clinton Foundation. them clintoons know a thing or two about how to work their tax write-offs. Bill used to claim a tax deduction on his used underwear, believe that or not.
