Pelosi grilled for not releasing her own tax returns

7/19/12

The focus of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s weekly press conference shifted quickly Thursday morning from tax cuts for the middle class to her own tax returns.

Reporters grilled the California Democrat about a recent McClatchy report that said only 17 of the 535 members of Congress released their tax returns in response to requests by the news organization. Pelosi, who has repeatedly called out Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for not disclosing more of his tax returns, was not one of the 17.

“That is the custom for the people running for president,” Pelosi said. “I think it’s the relationship between the people running for president and the American people. It’s a decision that the candidate has to make.”

Pelosi insisted the standard is different for candidates for Congress.

“When I run for president of the United States, you can hold me to that standard,” she added.
