Rubio released five years’ worth of financial information, saying the rates his family paid were in line with tax rates paid by Americans of similar income levels. And Cruz and his wife disclosed four years’ worth, bringing in more income than did the Rubio family.
But both campaigns only released the top lines of the forms, not the complete documents, providing only a limited look at their finances. Democrats and some Republicans quickly pounced on Rubio and Cruz for the limited release.
The moves from Cruz and Rubio come as Trump is under pressure to release his tax returns. 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney warned there could be a “bombshell” in Trump’s documents. Trump has so far declined to release his tax information, saying he’s being audited.
