Contrary to Donald Trump’s belief, 74% of Americans want to see his tax returns, according to poll BY CHRIS SOMMERFELDT NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Tuesday, January 17, 2017, 12:21 AM FILE PHOTO DATED WEDNESDAY, JAN. 11, 2017 Most Americans want to see Donald Trump's tax returns, according to a Monday poll. (SETH WENIG/AP) Donald Trump claimed during his first press conference as President-elect last week that "only reporters" care about seeing his tax returns — but a new poll suggests that nearly three quarters of the country believe that he should release them. Seventy-four percent of Americans agree that Trump should publicly disclose his returns and four in 10 care "a lot" about them, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll out Monday. The survey was conducted over a four day span, starting on the day after Trump's tumultuous presser. The President-elect has refused to release his returns, claiming that he can't because they're under federal audit. That claim has been repeatedly debunked by tax experts who say there are no laws barring Trump from disclosing his filings — even if he's being audited. The Monday poll also surveyed Americans' take on whether Trump and his family members are complying with federal ethics laws.

Not Released (NR) Donald Jr. and Eric Trump will take "complete control" of the Trump organization, according to the President-elect. (SPENCER PLATT/GETTY IMAGES) Trump was widely criticized for announcing last week that he won't — as previously promised — put his sprawling business empire into a blind trust to avoid any conflicts of interest as President. Instead, Trump said his two sons, Eric and Donald Jr., will take "complete control" of his company. "They're going to be running it in a very professional manner, they're not going to discuss it with me," Trump said at last week's press conference, his two suit-clad sons standing next to him. But that pledge apparently didn't strike a very convincing tone among those polled for the Monday survey, with 48% overall saying that the plan is insufficient. Forty-two percent said he should have sold his business instead. The Trump press conference was not a press conference at all The poll was conducted in English and Spanish, among a random sample of 1,005 adults meant to reflect the national electorate. The results have a margin of error of 3.5 points. __________________
