Multibillionaire Warren Buffett challenged fellow business mogul Donald Trump on Monday night to meet him “any place, any time” ahead of the election to answer questions about their tax returns and suggested Trump is “afraid” of what his returns will reveal.
Although Trump has frequently claimed he can’t release his income tax returns because he’s under audit, Buffett, one of the wealthiest men in the world, said: “I’ve got news for him, I’m under audit too.”
“I would be delighted to meet him any place, any time between now and election, I’ll bring my tax return, he can bring his tax return, and just let people ask us questions about the items that are on there,” the philanthropist told the crowd at a Hillary Clinton campaign event in Omaha.
He also suggested Trump must have something to hide for refusing to release his tax returns.
“You’re only afraid if you’ve got something to be afraid about,” Buffett said. “He’s not afraid of the IRS. He’s afraid because of you.”
