Mitt Romney told Radio Iowa on Monday that there’s “nothing hidden” in his financial portfolio, which includes overseas holdings. He returned fire to the Obama administration, which has renewed its calls for him to release more years of tax returns, saying that the president is trying to change the subject from his jobs record.

From Radio Iowa:  

“I don’t manage them. I don’t even know where they are. That trustee follows all U.S. laws. All the taxes are paid, as appropriate. All of them have been reported to the government. There’s nothing hidden there. If, for instance, you own shares in Renault or Fiat, you still have to disclose that in the United States,” Romney said. “So, you know, I understand the president’s going to try to do anything he can to divert attention from the fact that his jobs record is weak and he has no plan to make things better.”
