Newt Gingrich’s spokesman said they considered Mitt Romney’s tax return issue settled after he released his 2010 filing, but reported discrepancies are now giving Newt a chance to revive the issue.
“We’re going to be very explicit about his record and how can a guy that’s a great manager not file 23 foreign holdings last year when he filed,” Gingrich told CNN on Monday. “How can he have signed a document saying he provided services for paying part of his income tax when he told everybody he didn’t provide services for Bain? A lot of pieces of Mitt Romney don’t hold up once you start looking at them honestly.”
Gingrich was citing concerns raised by the LA Times in an analysis comparing Romney’s tax returns to his earlier financial disclosures. The Romney campaign dismissed the issues as “trivial.”
