Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) literally laughed at the news that Mitt Romney called on Donald Trump to release his tax returns.
“Ha, ha. (Romney) never gave us his tax returns. Who was the brainchild that got him to do that?” Reid said on Thursday at a news conference, according to Politico. “He gave us a summary. He never gave us his tax returns.”
Reid hammered Romney during the 2012 election, pushing him to release his tax returns and alleging that the former Massachusetts governor did not pay taxes for a decade. Reid’s allegation was eventually proven false.
When asked on Thursday if he believes there is a “bombshell” in Trump’s tax returns, as Romney hypothesized on Wednesday, Reid said, “All I know is, I can’t imagine Romney having the gall coming out (and calling) for anybody’s tax returns,” according to Politico.
